2010 F = ma Exam — Question 13

13. A ball of mass M and radius R has a moment of inertia of I = 2 5MR2. The ball is released from rest and rolls down the ramp with no frictional loss of energy. The ball is projected vertically upward offa ramp as shown in the diagram, reaching a maximum height ymax above the point where it leaves the ramp. Determine the maximum height of the projectile ymax in terms of h. h
