Rotating the Wheel Changes? He Valid /2 and |3 you should have discovered that Lakes healthy (true change E 4ths" angular moment associated pinning bicycle wheel Let's observe M duplicated involving a similar change = angular momentum (outside! person selling Manding) On a wheel 'platform Mn rolling My bicycle What happens if the person applies torque to the wheel, and Nipes the AXIS of the wheel by Uno" This state of affairs About disrupts the bike below
Figure 12-6: Spinning wheel being flipped on rotating platform For this observation You will need the following equipment: rotating platform person bicycle wheel mounted on an axle Optional: piece of string #Tar around the rim of the wheel
spinning
Activity [2-14: What Happens When the Wheel Flipped?
What do You predict will happen if a stationary person, sitting = flips spinning bicycle wheel over? Why?
platform that free to rotate,
What actually happens? Does the result agree
your prediction?
Use the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum explain Your observation words, Hints: Remember that angular momentum is vector quantity Does the angular momentum of the wheel change as it is flipped? If so, how does the angular momentum of the person and stool have to change to compensate for this?
