Do a computation. Write down the formula for the total kinetic energy of a rolling object. Leave the moment on intertia undetermined. Express the angular velocity in terms of the velocity (assume that the object has a radius of R).
If you write the result as:
E_kin = A/2 m v^2
then what is A?
If you write the result as:
E_kin = A/2 m v^2
then what is A?
