A solid sphere rolling without slipping has both translational and rotational kinetic energy; total KE =710mv2= \tfrac{7}{10}mv^2.

For a solid sphere, moment of inertia about its diameter is I=25mR2I = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2. Rolling without slipping means v=ωRv = \omega R.

Total kinetic energy = translational KE + rotational KE:

KE=12mv2+12Iω2=12mv2+12(25mR2)(vR)2KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}mR^2\right)\left(\frac{v}{R}\right)^2
