I'm somewhat clueless on how to solve the following problem, since a solid disk is rolling up a hill rather than downhill.
I tried using KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf, including both KEt and KEr in KEf, and I calculated that KEi = 135J (45J are KEr, and 90J are KEt). I'm not sure if I'm plugging in my values correctly, since I got a translational speed of 3.847, and my answer was wrong.
A solid disk (mass = 5 kg, R = 0.6m) is rolling across a table with a translational speed of 6 m/s. The disk then rolls up a hill of height 2 m, where the ground again levels out. Find the translational and rotational speeds now.
