Q5 (10 pt) A solid sphere with radius a is initially spinning about a horizontal axis with angular speed Wo. The sphere is then released on a horizontal surface with zero initial translational speed, i.e. the CM is at rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the sphere is u, find the distance the sphere travels before rolling without slipping occurs; i.e. VCM = aw. = The moment of inertia of a solid sphere rotating about its CM is I = (2/5)ma? =
