Two balls same radius and mass rolling down a slope
hi, thanks for your help. so as i understand with increasing radius increases moment of inertia.the moment of inertia of an object is a measure of how difficult it is to start it spinning. and as i imagine it,some parts of the iron ball are closer to the axis, therefore it has smaller moment...- Nina87

Two balls same radius and mass rolling down a slope
two balls, one made of iron and one made of lead with same radius and mass. which one will roll down the slope faster? i don't really know where to begin, since everything is the same, the only idea i had was to somehow relate Ek=(J.ω2)/2 => Ek= m.r2.(ω2/2) to the question since i imagine...- Nina87
