How to Calculate When a Bowling Ball Will Begin to Roll Without Sliding

[Doc Al]

Now solve it using conservation of angular momentum.

OK.

Good. Now write a similar equation for ω as a function of time. Combine all equations to solve for the time. Once you have the time, use it to find Vf.

You're almost there.

Do you mean using d(theta)/dt?

Do you mean using d(theta)/dt?

I don't understand your question. ω ≡ dθ/dt, if that's what you mean.
