Angular Momentum Demo: Spinning Bottle

  • In this demonstration, water that is originally at the bottom of a bottle splits when the bottle is rotated, with some of the water going to the top of the bottle and some remaining at the bottom. This split increases the moment of inertia of the system and decreases the angular velocity to conserve angular momentum.

      Until they give you a ship load of homework that asks you to derive equations that has never been taught during class and use up 5 hours just to look online to find that there are no examples and answers so you look for research papers to find extensive amounts of complex equations and learn everything out of syllabus and write three pages of explanation using all the theories you learnt just for them to give a zero for your work and give an answer that is so simple, it absolutely contradicts on what you learn and when you ask them, they tell you that you think too much. They never tell you how to simplify how you think and give you an answer that you think is logical and when you take the exam, it is always something new and you have never tackled such a question before.
      Sorry, I'm still pissed that physics is the sole subject that tanked my GPA.

    I learned of this effect from my Gramma in the 1960's, but did not know the scientific name until much later. She showed me how to detect whether an egg is boiled or not. A boiled egg will spin fast on a table top, while a raw egg will only spin sluggishly one or two revolutions.

      The video is showing how the changing moment of inertia changes the speed of rotation. I think what you are describing just has to do with the way a "solid" boiled egg or a "liquid" uncoocked egg reacts to the shell being spun. The inside of the uncooked egg slips and doesn't start spinning very much after a quick flick.

      another way to see if the egg is boiled is to spin the egg and then stop it with a tap and if it stops it is boiled but if it starts spinning again is raw. This is because if it is raw some of the angular momentum of the shell is given to the egg white and when you stop the shell the egg white keeps spining and gives some of the angular momentum it has to the shell again and makes it rotate again while the boiled egg is solid so when you stop it the egg white stops too

    ... in slight disagreement.
    As water splits in the second case so axis of rotation is roughly same as in the first case. Moment of inertia is more in the first case than the second case: so rotational speed should be more in the second case. But it is not !!! It has to do with inertia of rotation of water as in the case rotating "rotation of boiled egg and the rotation of raw egg".

  • @LGlink-rz2xc

    But why is the water dividing in the first place? All it had to do to conserve the angular momentum is to rotate as fast as he made it to do. So why does the water take the detour of dividing to slow down the rotation to conserve angular momentum when it could just turn faster? I think centrifugal forces play a role here, too, right?

      Water does not have tensile strength. Any rotation of a water body causes it to spread out until it meets a mechanical limitation, due to centrifugal force like you said / inertia for physics pedants. Because the bottle is long, the most spread out configuration it can obtain is 2 roughly equal halves at each end, so that's what happens.

    @sumedhchipde6097 3 роки тому

    I had this doubt.
    Case 1: Bottle completely filled.
    Case 2: Bottle 1/3rd filled.
    The energy provided by the hand in both cases is approximately equal.
    If we do a simple energy balance:
    Energy provided = Potnetial Energy(PE) + Translation Kinetic Energy (TKE) + Rotational Kinetic Energy (RKE)
    In both cases approx 'energy provided' is equal by the hand. PE and TKE would be less in case 2 as mass is less. This means that RKE-2 (RKE for case 2) is more than RKE-1.
    RKE = (Moment of Inertia * Angular velocity)/2 {MOI*AV/2}
    In case-2 even if water is getting divided into two, the moment of inertia for case-2 is less than that of case-1.
    But RKE-2 > RKE-1 and MOI-1>MOI-2.
    So considering all this together, the angular velocity for case-2 should come out to be more than case-1.
    But that is not the case.
    In case-2 there is relative motion of water wrt bottle, which means there is relative velocity of water wrt bottle. I feel the correct explanation would be that some part of the energy provided is converted to translation motion of water inside the bottle.
    I am not sure although. Please let me know

      Bro, the axis about which it is rotating is passing through the cap only until the bottle is in the hand of the man. But as soon as the bottle leaves the contact with the hand (which was earlier acting as a hinge), it starts rotating about it's COM... in short, the axis of rotation shifts from the cap to the COM of liquid...
