In the following, we have a sliding sphere, when it meets a floor with friction.

I want to use the angular impulse method to find an expression of the v when pure rolling starts.

This is obviously incorrect.
But I can't find out what's wrong. anyone?

Why is that obviously wrong? I at least could follow it. (Small note: you changed from r to R in the problem. Also I think Vi should equal Vi not Vi=V because if Vi=V that's like Vi=Vf, but that's more of a typo.)

it's wrong cos it states that mv is larger tahn the impulse given.
 
?? Kind of following. Why does that matter? The value of mv can be bigger than the linear impulse in this problem. (Note: where mv=mVfinal)
