    (a) Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2Iω^2

    Where, I = cmr^2 = 2/5*26*0.5^2 = 2.6 kg/m^2; ω=1 rev/0.4 sec = 2.5 rev/sec = 2.5*2π rad/s = 15.71 rad/s

    Therefore, Rotational KE = 1/2*2.6*15.71^2 = 320.76 J

    (b) Total kinetic energy = Linear KE + Rotational KE

    Linear KE = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5*26*5^2 = 325 J

    Then,

    Total KE of sphere = 320.76+325 = 645.76 J
