A rolling ball possesses kinetic energy in its rotation as well as its translation (forward movement). The rotational kinetic energy is 28.6% of the total. A ball rolls down a slope of height 1m which becomes horizontal before ending in a step of height 1m. Calculate the horizontal distance from the step to where the ball hits the ground.
