    What is the moment of inertia of the ball about the axis of rotation?

    Ok, I redid the problem considering, like you said, the kinetic energy of both linear and rotational movement. so, (0.5)(9.81)(0.81) = (1/2)(0.5)(0.075^2)(w^2) + (1/2)(0.001125)w^2 ---> w=44.68 rad/sec. and velocity when the ball leaves the table is 5.147m/s and d = 2.75meters right?
