Solve the following :

Question:

A thin spherical shell lying on a rough horizontal surface is hit by cue in such a way that the line of action passes through the centre of the shell. As a result the shell starts moving with the linear speed v without any initial angular velocity. Find the linear speed of the shell after it starts pure rolling on the surface.

Solution:

By angular momentum conservation at bottom most point

$L_{i}=L_{f}$

$m v R=m v^{\prime} R+I \omega^{\prime}$

$m v R=\left(\frac{2}{3} m R^{2}\right)\left(\frac{v^{\prime}}{R}\right)+m v^{\prime} R$

$v^{\prime}=\frac{3 v}{5}$
