A sphere of radius 0.19 meters starts from rest at the top of an incline at a height of 7 meters. The angle of the incline is 36 degrees. How many revolutions does the sphere make as it rolls to the end of the incline without slipping?

You need to post an attempt. Start by finding the distance the sphere must roll.

x (length of incline)= 7/ sin 36 = 11.91 m.

What is the next step please? Do I need to do something with conservation of energy?
