A solid sphere and a solid cylinder with the same mass are both spinning around their principal axis at the same angular velocity (for the cylinder this means the cylinder is spinning like it would if rolling down a hill). If the sphere has a radius 5 times bigger than the radius of the solid cylinder, how do their rotational energies compare? Isphere =(2/5)MR2, Icylinder =(1/2)MR2
