Determine the translational speed after given time

Reference no: EM13518835

A spherical pinball, initially at rest, rolls down a ramp inclined at 18 degrees relative to horizontal.

A. What is its translational speed after it has traveled 15 cm down the ramp?

B. Determine the translational speed after 3 seconds. (This is tricky because you must express the distance traveled down the ramp and velocity using constant acceleration equations. Plug those into your equation relating the distance and velocity.)
