Conservation of Energy for a Rolling Sphere
A uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface with a linear velocity v₀. The sphere then rolls up an incline. What is the maximum height h its center of mass reaches above the horizontal surface?
A
h = 3v₀²/5g
B
h = 5v₀²/7g
C
h = 7v₀²/10g
D
h = v₀²/2g
