A regulation basketball has a 47 cm diameter and may be approximated as a thin spherical shell.
How long will it take a basketball starting
from rest to roll without slipping 3.5 m down
an incline that makes an angle of 80.6◦ with
the horizontal? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81m/s^2
Answer in units of s.

Answer:

1.1 s

Explanation:

The initial ball’s height is [tex]3.5gsin(80.6)^{\circ}=3.453003g m\approx 3.45g m[/tex]

From the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy converts to kinetic energy

[tex]PE=mgh[/tex]

[tex]KE= 0.5mv^{2}[/tex]

Where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height, v is the velocity

Here, the potential energy converts to potential energy and rotation energy

Moment of inertia of the ball, [tex]I=\frac {2mr^{2}}{3} but [tex]w=\frac {v}{r}[/tex] and making r the subject then substituting it back to the equation of rotation energy we obtain rotational energy as [tex]\frac {mv^{2}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]3.5sin(80.6)^{\circ}=0.5mv^{2} + \frac {mv^{2}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]3.5sin(80.6)^{\circ}=\frac {5v^{2}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]v^{2}=\frac {21g sin(80.6)^{\circ}}{5}[/tex]

From kinematics

[tex]v^{2}=2as=2\times 3.5\times a[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac {v^{2}}{7}=\ frac {21g sin(80.6)^{\circ}}{5\times 7}=\ frac {21\times 9.81 sin(80.6)^{\circ}}{5\times 7}=5.806964 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Since [tex]s=0.5at^{2}[/tex] then [tex]t^{2}=\frac {2s}{a}[/tex] and [tex]t=\sqrt {\frac {2s}{a}}=\sqrt {\frac {2\times 3.5}{5.806964 m/s^{2}}}=1.09793 s\approx 1.1 s[/tex]
