(edit to the first post by me)
*a bowling ball is sliding without rolling with initial velocity of 5m/s and coeficient of friction being .08.
how far does it travel before it starts to roll?*
that should make more sense
i used V=Rw to solve it correctly, you should get 7.8m
but i wnat to know how to use conservbation of total energy because it makes conceptual sense but it does not provide the correct answer.
a bowling ball is slipping woth initial velocity of 5m/s with coeficient of friction being .08.
how far does it travel before it started to slip?
i used conservation of total energy and accounted for the energy lost in friction until it starts to roll.
both i and my teacher got double...
