Question: Two plastic spheres are made to rotate at the same high angular speed before they are gently placed on a flat surface. The first sphere

Two plastic spheres are made to rotate at the same high angular speed before they are gently placed on a flat surface. The first sphere is twice as massive as the second sphere, but they have the same radius due to a different density plastic used in each. Both achieve pure rolling after short, but different times of slipping. Which sphere will have the higher vcm once pure rolling is achieved?
