Question

(a) Prove that the moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius Rrotating about an axis through its centre of mass, is given by ICM, where I_{\mathrm{CM}}=\frac{2}{5} M R^{2} (b) Find the velocity of the centre of mass of a glass marble which rolls from rest down a gentle ramp inclined at an angle of 20° to the horizontal, without slipping, after it has travelled a distance of 2.5 m. (c) Find its translational kinetic energy after travelling 1.25 m from the top of the ramp if the mass of the marble is 5.00 g.
