Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 7.5 m/s. Ignore frictional losses. (a) What is the height of the hill? (b) Released from rest at the same height, a can of frozen juice rolls to the bottom of the same hill. What is the translational speed of the frozen juice can when it reaches the bottom?
