Out of this world
We have Talk about rolling object when there is
gravity now what about when there in no gravity. So
you can't
roll like how you would on earth but what is
rolling but spinning. similar to how a moving object
has inertia a rotating object
has a similar rotational inertia. this is the
principle is used by gyroscopes and bicycles.
If a rotating object 's mass t is distributed away
from mass becomes more difficult to stop or change how
it is rotating.
This because the forces spinning the object is
producing a moment or torque parallel to the axis of
rotation.
This means that when you spin something it won't
easily tip over. That's why bikes and gyroscopes won't
tip over.
Awesome
video of some physic principles of things spinning
in space
