Re: Physics Quiz 9

If anyone's interested, here's a somewhat similar, slightly tricky question I recall from a classical mechanics course:

A bowler releases a bowling ball. Initially, it is sliding at velocity v. Due to friction with the ground, it begins to roll. What is the velocity of the ball once it is rolling?

Hint: Not all origin locations are created equal.
