10.1119/10.0000905.1A biased ball rolled and spun on a horizontal surface exhibits interesting dynamics. We investigate the motion of a truncated billiard ball, via experiments, analytical methods, and numerical solutions of the equations of motion for a biased sphere rolling without slipping. Solutions are identified where the center of mass moves in a circular or a square path, and we investigate other quasi-periodic motions of the ball.
