"An object's moment of inertia I determines how much it resists rotational motion. In this simulation, four objects are placed on a ramp and left to roll without slipping. Starting from rest, each will experience an angular acceleration based on their moment of inertia."

More details and the related math, as well as the POV-Ray source code, are available at the media page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rolling_Racers_-_Moment_of_inertia_(HD).ogv

----------

Just another animation for Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons I did. Rendered it in HD, so I figured I'd post it here as well.
