Play around with mass, radius, and moment of inertia, what is independent of the others? <em>it seems only the moment of inertia matters, but that is very unintuitive…or is it intuitive?</em>

Also, given an object, what's the fastest way for it to get down the hill? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachristocrone_Curve" class="interwiki iw_wp" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachristocrone_Curve">Brachristocrone_Curve</a>, <a href="http://www.hep.caltech.edu/~fcp/math/variationalCalculus/variationalCalculus.pdf" class="urlextern" title="http://www.hep.caltech.edu/~fcp/math/variationalCalculus/variationalCalculus.pdf" rel="ugc nofollow">and another explanation using Calculus of Variations</a>, and <a href="0media/sussmann-willems.pdf" class="media mediafile mf_pdf" title="sussmann-willems.pdf">optimal control theory??!!</a>

Assume objects of the same mass…why again does a dowel roll slower than
Is there an intuitive explanation behind moment of inertia?
