Inertia "M"

From UO Physics Demonstration Catalog

Revision as of 11:44, 30 June 2022 by Physdemo (talk | contribs) (I changed the description and location to better match our current demo for this. Rather than masses our inertia M has tennis balls on the ends and they are permanently attached so no assembly is necessary)

Description:

A wire is bent in the shape of an M. Tennis balls, one yellow and one red, are attached on the ends of the wire. The center of the M is balanced on your head with one of the balls directly in front of your face. Rotate your body and you can look at the other ball. The M will not rotate with you because it has Rotational Inertia.
