Summary

An object's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia" class="extiw" title="w:Moment of inertia">moment of inertia</a> I determines how much it resists rotational motion. In this simulation, four objects are placed on a ramp and left to roll without slipping. Starting from rest, each will experience an angular acceleration based on their moment of inertia.
