A solid sphere has a larger rotational inertia than a solid cylinder, they have the same mass and radius. If the two were rolled down a ramp, which object would have more translational kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp?   - the solid sphere - none of the above - the solid cylinder - they would have the same transational kinetic energy
