    Caution: External torques act on the person + stool system. The stool can only rotate freely around the axis perpendicular to the ground. I.e. the system person + stool can gain or lose angular momentum parallel to the ground.
    Thus the statement that the angular momentum is preserved is wrong. Only the component parallel to the axis of rotation of the stool is preserved.
    Proof: The moment you start rotating the wheel, the angular momentum of the wheel no longer points perpendicular to the ground, hence the system person + stool gained angular momentum parallel to the ground.

      I just came to the same conclusion after many hours of watching videos, reading, and thinking. This video was the last piece missing from my puzzle. The arithmetic helped. And also other pieces. If there would be a vertical axis then the system would rotate both horizontally and vertically. How can I restore the initial angular momentum if it was directed at a right angle sideways and there was nothing to compensate it for? Now I see that the initial angular momentum was not crucial as only one axis was in the play.

  • @flighted2513
    @flighted2513 4 роки тому

    Ok so basically you can sum it up Lpersoninitial+Lwheelinitial = Lpersonfinal+LwheelfinalLet's just say that the initial angular momentum of the wheel is Iw (pretend the w is an omega), which implies that the wheel is spinning in a counterclockwise direction. Now lets say the wheel is flipped 180 degrees. Now it will be spinning in a clockwise manner. So that means the new angular momentum is -Iw. the initial angular momentum of the person is 0. The equation is thus Iw = Lpersonfinal -Iw. So then move it and it is 2Iw, which implies that the person HAS to spin counterclockwise. This is a simplified take on it. Any greenspan kids comment

  • @learningisecstatic9348
    @learningisecstatic9348 5 років тому +1

    Sir it is assumed that no external force is applied to the whole system. So the total kinetic energy of the system should remain constant. The solution suggests that the MAGNITUDE of the angular velocity of the wheel is SAME as before. So its kinetic energy is unchanged. But the man and the stool gets anguler velocity. So they get kinetic energy. So kinetic energy of the system is not conserved. Though no external force is applied to the system. Where am I going wrong? Please help sir. Hope you are well.

      @FlippingPhysics  5 років тому +1

      @@learningisecstatic9348 Right. We are pretending there is no friction. (There is, unfortunately, and it is slowing everything down, but we are ignoring that.) Is there work done by a force applied? Yes.
      In order to bring the masses closer to the axis of rotation, I have to apply a force to the masses. Therefore, I am doing work on the masses, in the absence of friction, the amount of work I do on the masses (in this case the net work) equals the change in kinetic energy of the system (net work equals change in kinetic energy theorem), therefore the change in kinetic energy equals the work done by the force applied on the masses.

      A force applied is just one object pushing or pulling on another object. Get on a merry-go-round and try to pull yourself in to the middle. It actually takes quite a bit of work. www.flippingphysics.com/merry-go-round-conservation.html

    "As much as I wave my arms and legs around I cannot cause the system to rotate." Didn't try very hard did you? I tried for five seconds and immediately got a technique that worked. Instead of wildly waving your arms and legs around seperate your top half and bottom half into units that rotate.

  • @BanValsimot
    @BanValsimot 4 роки тому +1

    This is mind boogling....by rotating the wheel you have reversed it's spin to CW direction.
    But in order to keep the original angular momentum of the system present -> wheel started turning you in the CCW direction.
    It is logical from experience by weird when you think about it....

    The rotation of the stool is due to the gyroscopic effect and this demonstration has nothing to do with conservation of angular momentum. If you measure the results, you will confirm that angular momentum is not conserved. Good physics should be backed up with empirical evidence - not demonstration.

      @@peacecop If I understand your question properly, No. I made this discovery doing research and development and very quickly recognised very early in the process that balance was important because the prototype models destroyed themselves at any serious speeds. My later models which led me to this discovery used directly opposed weights which could spin freely without vibration.
