That gives us 35.7m/s (assuming no friction). Yikes!

Chateau d If:
No!

The formula takes into account the kinetic energy of rotation:  (1/2) I w^2

where I = (1/2) mr^2 is the moment of inertia of a cylinder and w is the angular velocity of rotation.

We also assume that the cheese rolls without slipping!   :wise

End Result: Cheese 1 Amanda 0
