I don't know the formula to work this out, but I would like to. I think it would involve Pi. I hope it involves apple Pi, because that is my favourite kind, I never was much good at math, but I'm good at eating. :blink:
Lol. Let's say if the ball rotates 360 degrees, then the distance travelled is the circumference of the ball.
circumference = 2piRadius
The 2pi is the rotation in radians. So 2pi radians=360 degrees.
So solving for the rotation, you get 2*pi = circumference / Radius
