00:02 when I hold the spinning wheel , nothing crazy happens
00:06 when I flip it , I spent back and I
00:12 stopped flip it . I spent the question is why
00:19 am I spinning ? So I have to force the
00:23 turnover Now Nunes 3rd Law says that for every force
00:27 there's an equal and opposite force acting as well .
00:30 So when I forced the wheel the wheel of applying
00:33 force equal and opposite onto me , causing me to
00:36 turn . So the same thing applies when I'm on
00:39 the ground , but the friction between my shoes and
00:42 the ground stop me from spinning . So another would
00:45 explain what's going on is through conservation of angular momentum
00:49 . Now angular momentum is something that tells you how
00:51 hard it is to either start or stop something from
00:54 spinning and depends on two things . one How fast
00:58 it's spinning . We call that the angler frequency to
01:03 its shape or what we call the moment of inertia
01:06 . So this wheels rotating counterclockwise . I'm gonna teach
01:09 you a trick so get your right hand and I
01:11 want you to curl your fingers in the counterclockwise direction
01:15 and you see that your thumb is pointing upwards ,
01:17 we'll call that the positive direction . So see this
01:20 wheel has positive angular momentum with the magnitude about angular
01:26 momentum is conserved . That means as long as there's
01:29 no outside forces , the total angular momentum of the
01:32 system always stays the same . So when you flip
01:35 this thing over and do the right hand trick your
01:38 thumb points down or in the negative direction . So
01:42 the annual messing with this wheel is now negative .
01:45 So the whole system me the turntable and the wheel
01:50 starts out at negative al when you flip the wheel
01:54 the wheel now has positive L . So the whole
01:57 system needs to stay negative because of conservation of angular
02:02 momentum . So I need to spend with angular momentum
02:05 of -2 L . That's why I spend the other
02:08 way . Mhm mm . Yeah .
