Rigid body doing transational plus rotational motion
Question

A solid sphere of mass M and radius r slips on a rough horizontal plane. At some instant it has translational velocity v0 and rotational velocity about the centre v02r. The translational velocity after the sphere starts pure rolling is

Moderate
Solution

Angular momentum can be conserved about lowest point

mv0r + 25mr2v02r = mv'r+25mr2v'r

10mv0r+2mv0r10 = 7 mv'r5

v' = 6v07
