    My high school physics teacher showed us this exact demonstration to us. He also used the same rotating platform, sat on it with his legs crossed. He then held a textbook in each hand. When he would bring textbooks close to him, he would spin faster. When he would hold them out, he would spin slower. Because the radius changes, causing the moment of inertia to change

    • @gabrielpaes9351
      @gabrielpaes9351 10 месяцев назад

      Moment of inertia goes down (because the radius decreases), so angular velocity must go up. There is a great class by Prof. Walter Lewin on it!

He's still young and was already withdrawing from school work but stuff like this even relatively simple demonstrations like these make his eye light up like he's seen a magic trick.

    • @Alisson0022_
      @Alisson0022_ 17 дней назад

      It all depends on how the system starts. Let's say that the system starts with a +L, so it starts at a counterclockwise rotation, and when we rotate it, it's now on a clockwise rotation, thus -L (you can see it at 1:35). By Newton's postulate of conservation of momentum, we know that the angular momentum of an isolated system tends to be conserved, you can imagine the isolated system as him, the wheel and the spinning base. When he changes the direction of the rotation, the system behaves in a way to conserve the initial state of the system which is spinning in the opposite direction two times faster to get to the initial state as he explained here: 1:47. Lastly, in summary, if we start the system as -L and then change it to +L, the system will try to conserve the momentum back to -L by spinning with -2L (+L - 2L = -L) and, analogously, if we start as +L and change to -L, the system will try to conserve the initial state by spinning with +2L(-L + 2L = +L).

      When the wheel is spinning in it's own at -L, there is no need for him to spin as the only force that has been applied is to spin the wheel.
      When he rotates the wheel and makes its angular momentum +L, there needs to be a correction equal to -2L in order to conserve the wheel's overall momentum, thus it spins him.

      And the claim at the start of the video that it's Newton's third law that makes him spin is also wrong. When he flips the wheel over, the reaction force is a torque that would rotate him about a horizontal axis through his chest and turn him upside down, not a torque about the vertical axis through his spine that rotates him on the turntable.

    Whatever you're standing on has a direction it wants to move in more than the other. You should spin either direction based upon how you hold the wheel, but you only spin one way meaning the thing you're standing on has friction one way but not the other. That is kind of a big part of this demonstration that you leave out.

      I think it's because he was standing still on the turn table with no angular velocity initially. (At the very beginning of the video he started to spin but the guy held him in place). So then the angular momentum is conserved with only the wheel acting in the closed system (the guy and the wheel).

    Has anyone done this but the bottom is rotating (hooked up to a motor I imagine with a "free turning table on top") causing the person to rotate e.g: in a clockwise direction, and then the wheel either makes you rotate twice as fast in one orientation as the forces add or stop in the opposite orientation as the forces cancel out? I feel this would help demonstrate this point even better. Sorry if I'm not very clear with this.

    This way you balance the y-component of the angular momentum. But if initially, you would hold the wheel vertically, so that it spins around a horizontal axis then the angular momentum is directed to the side. If you then turn the axis to be vertical, you start spinning in order to balance the vertical component of the angular momentum but what does balance the lost horizontal component of the angular momentum?

    The set-up of this is fundamentally wrong. When he's standing on the turntable and rotates the wheel, it is correct that there is a Newton's-third-law force in the opposite direction. However, that is not the force that is making him spin: it's not the opposite direction. The opposite direction to him turning the wheel anticlockwise (as seen from our point of view) is a force that tries to turn him clockwise about a horizontal axis through his chest, not about a vertical axis down his spine. The reaction to him flipping the wheel over would turn him upside down, not rotate him on the turntable. The reason it doesn't turn him upside down is that the frictional force through his feet opposes this.

    Unfortunately this video is again a hot-mess. At the final sum up you've reversed the directions that you had used in the explanations. In the demos you started with +L as the starting point then the flip to -L is what impels your body into the balancing rotation of +2L. YET, In the final summary, your body was spinning clockwise which meant -2L as a reaction to +L.

When the wheel spins towards the lowered arm though it is going with gravity which doesn’t hinder it? I really enjoy trying to break these principles down into facts laymen can understand.

    Is this maybe also related with the fact that the front of the car is lifted up while accelerating? I guess the angular momentum is generated from the wheel to the left. Meanwhile, the entire system (vehicle body) tends to turn backwards and as a result 'counter' angular momentum occurs to the right and the total angular momentum is conserved. Is this correct?

    what happens if you take the spinning wheel while pinning does it increase the speed that you spin.. and what if you are spinning opposite direction would it stop your momentum?.. hmmm

    We’ve tried this on a Pilates spin plate but the friction must be too much as we don’t spin. So how to make one of these bases?

    Torque. Same reason helicopters use a main rotor for lift, and a tail rotor for stable flight. The tail rotor is spinning counter to the main rotor. Without the tail rotor, the helicopter's entire fuselage would spin like a top, counter to the main rotor.
    Airplane propellers are a little different but do the same thing, they are called "tractor propellers". Planes have wings, a rear stablizer and use an airfoil. Their wings produce the lift.
    Copter's don't, they rely solely on the pitch of the main rotors for lift.
    Plane props spin but the plane remains stable and does not spin.

  • @InnerTriggerer

  • @Serfdomftw
    @Serfdomftw 2 года назад

    This demonstration doesn't really have much to do with angular momentum. Its more of the fact that you are producing forces on the turntable with your feet, and by shifting your balance when you flip the wheel.
    You could probably demonstrate this better with a spinning top on a spinning plate.

  • @pulsaltinglynx3627

    so the initial phase is -L, And on the spinning table he stand, every friction is neglected, and we change the wheel's rotation so the angular momentum is preserved?

    what if you keep flipping it the same direction (which will require you to switch hands after each flip) will you keep spinning faster and faster? i’m sure the wheel slows down but you can just spin it more and keep flipping, is it a speed unlock?

      The right hand grip rule is a theory part of the Electromagnetic Induction and it's based on "Faraday's law of Electromagnetic Induction". So yes, when a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow. This is flemings left hand rule
