The Rolling Constraint is the basic link between translation and rotation for objects that roll without slipping (According to Knight, Physics for Scientists and Engineers)
Vcm = Rw = (2Pi/T)R
where V = velocity of the object’s center of mass (cm), R = radius, w = angular velocity, and T = period of rotation
