A ball of mass 2.10 kg and radius 0.145 m is released from rest on a plane inclined at an angle theta=38.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. How fast is the ball moving (in m/s) after it has rolled a distance d=1.50 m? Assume that the ball rolls without slipping, and that its moment of inertia about its center of mass is 1.40×10-2 kgm2.

What have you tried so far on this problem?
