Setup Example for Rotational Kinetic Energy

The equipment and items for experiment

Precision track; two photo gates; 2 spheres, ring, & disk objects; right angle support clamp holder; V-groove (Table) clamp; a long aluminum bar; a small aluminum bar; protractor; caliper

Set up an inclined plane, two photo gates, and 3 objects to roll. The following is a disk.
