The center of mass of a pitched baseball of radius 5.78 cm moves at 37.8 m/s. The ball spins about an axis through its center of mass with an angular speed of 154 rad/s. Treat the baseball as if it is a solid sphere rotating center (I = MR). about its center (I Calculate the ratio of the rotational energy to the translational kinetic energy.
