the applet is neat but more info a/b rolling without slipping would further
drive the point home. kmorgan

Good way of illustrating angular and linear velocity.

Technical Remarks:

Controls tend to leap about a bit, which becomes inconvenient at times.

Although some of the controls are a little jerky, this applet does a good job of
demonstrating the relationship between linear and angular speed. Trying to set
the coefficient of friction equal to 0 causes some problems, however. And it
would be nice to have the radius user-defined.
