A solid sphere of mass MM and radius RR rolls without slipping across a horizontal surface with center-of-mass speed vv. The sphere’s moment of inertia about its center is I=25MR2I=\tfrac25 M R^{2}. What fraction of the sphere’s total kinetic energy is rotational? a) 25\dfrac25 b) 27\dfrac27 c) 13\dfrac13 d) 49\dfrac49
