Problem

A solid sphere of mass 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} and radius 0.20 m0.20\,\text{m} rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface at a speed of 3.0 m / s3.0\,\text{m\,/\,s}. The moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its center is I=25MR2I=\tfrac{2}{5}MR^{2}. Calculate the total kinetic energy of the sphere.
