After you pick up a spare, our bowling ball rolls without slipping
back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of 2.85m/s. To reach
the rack, the ball rolls up a ramp that rises through a vertical
distance of .53m. (a) what is the linear speed of the ball when it
reaches the top of the ramp? (b) if the radius of the ball were
increased, would the speed found in part (a) increase, decrease, or
stay the same? Explain

I guess a "better" roll is a good thing, but it's sure screwing up my distance control. ...
