Question: A 2 . 0 0 Kg uniform solid sphere is rolling without slipping along a horizontal surface with a speed of 5 . 0 0

A 2.00 Kg uniform solid sphere is rolling without slipping along a horizontal surface with a speed of 5.00 m/s when it starts up a ramp that makes an angle of 30.0 with the horizontal. The sphere has a radius of 0.50 m. Moment of inertia of the solid sphere is I=25mr2.
a) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere when it starts up a ramp?
b) What is the maximum altitude reaching by the sphere? (Tip: using the law of conservation of energy)
c) How many meters the sphere rolled along the surface of the ramp when the sphere reach the maximum altitude?
d) Home many revolutions complete the sphere in its rolling motion up?
