After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear..?

After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of v = 3. 22 m/s (Figure 10-24). To reach the rack, the ball rolls up a ramp that gives the ball a h = 0. 50 m vertical rise. What is the speed of the ball when it reaches the top of the ramp?
m/s

    this will be solved using energy conservation.
    The energy of the rolling ball has two components:
    translational
    .5*m*v^2
    and rotational
    .5*I*ω^2
    where ω is the angular speed and ω=v/r
    I is the moment of inertia.
    Assuming the bowling ball to be a solid sphere
    I=2*m*r^2/5

    the gain in PE is m*g*h

    setting up the equations, note the m will divide out
    3.22^2*(.5+1/5)-9.81*0.5=v^2*(.5+1/5)
    solve for v

    v=1.83 m/s
