A4 practical: Rolling cylinders (Algodoo)
In this exercise you will investigate the motion of different cylinders rolling down an inclined plane using the simulation programme Algodoo. This is similar to the practical Rolling ball but since Agodoo is a 2D simulation you will be rolling disks down the slope instead of spheres. A disk has the same moment of inertia as a cylinder, mr2 for a hollow cylinder and ½mr2 for a solid one.According to the law of conservation...
