Rolling Balls Lab Write-Up

This is what you need for the Rolling Balls Lab, due Wednesday 2/22:
1)  Neat well-labeled data table with units (you may include calculated values)  Make sure that you include all 5 trials and the average for each object
2)  Calculations:  Final Velocity, Final Angular Speed, Potential Energy, Translational KE, Rotational KE.  All values should be calculated for each object, but you only need to show a sample calculation for each type once
3)  Check conservation of energy.  For each object, complete the equation:  mgh = 1/2 mv^2 + 1/2Iw^2
4)  Answer Questions A, B, C, D.  Make sure that you use data to back yourself up!
