A uniform sphere is placed on a smooth horizontal surface and a horizontal force F is applied on it at a distance h above the surface. The acceleration of the centre

As the surface told is smooth, so there won’t be any pure rolling, only sliding will be there. So, simple Newtonian mechanics tells us, and hence, acceleration in independent of h.
