13. Rotational Inertia & Energy / Conservation of Energy in Rolling Motion / Problem 3
Consider a bowling ball of radius r that rolls without slipping inside a semispherical bowl of radius R, where R is greater than r. The bowling ball starts from rest at a point level with the rim of the bowl. Determine the speed v of the bowling ball when it reaches the bottom of the bowl, assuming no energy is lost to friction.
