Hello, this is my first time on this site as a member, but I have found it very helpful all year. In my physics class we are trying to come up with a way to get a can to roll down an incline as fast as possible. We have to empty out the food from the can, then do whatever we can to it to make it roll faster. We are learning about moment of Inertia right now, but have already learned about potential, kinetic, and elastic energy, so I think that it might have something to do with those. Is there anything more advanced that could help that I haven't learned yet, or how would I use what I have learned to make a can roll faster? I have already thought about making the can as light as possible and have as small of a radius as possible, because it would have the smallest moment of Inertia, but there has to be something else that I can do in addition to that. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you very much, and I look forward to being a part of this site.
