Rotational Kinetic Energy: A hoop with a mass of 2.75 kg is rolling without slipping along a horizontal surface with a speed of 4.5 m/s when it starts down a ramp that makes an angle of 25° below the horizontal. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the hoop after it has rolled 3.0 m down as measured along the surface of the ramp?

A. 34 J
B. 22 J
C. 45 J
D. 62 J
