A solid sphere is in pure translation with speed “u” when it enters a rough horizontal surface. after some time it starts pure rolling. what is the speed of centre of mass ? plz explain .

Given,

 
u= initial velocity of the solid sphere.
 
By the conservation of angular momentum,
 
muR=Icω. . . . . . .(1)
 
Where, R= radius of solid sphere
 
ω= angular velocity when sphere starts pure rolling motion.
 
The moment of inertia about the contact point will be given by
 
Ic=57mR2 . . . . . (2)
 
When a solid sphere starts rolling motion then the speed is,
 
v=ωR
 
w=Rv. . . .  . . . . . . .(3)
 
Now, equation (1) becomes,
 
muR=57mR2×Rv
u=7/5
v
 

​ u=5/7m/s
