    When does gravitational potential energy apply in rolling motion problems?

    the first pair is when it reaches the angle θ and the second when it falls from the table. and the letter I is inertia is it wrong?

    When does gravitational potential energy apply in rolling motion problems?

    hello I would like some help with the first part of this homework. for the moment i have done this: E initial=m*g*h Efinal= 1/2 m*v ^ 2+1/2I*ω ^ 2 Ei=m*g*h+1/2I*ω ^ 2 Ef=1/2*m*v ^ 2 my doubt is with the potential energy since it confuses me when there is or not...
