Soup Can Race

Return to Rotational Dynamics

Description:

Campbell's Bean and Bacon soup has a distinctively different moment of inertia than Chicken Noodle. Compare with racing a solid vs a liquid inside a container. Another variation. Two cans of soda will reach the bottom at the same time. Shake one of the cans and then race. The one not shaken wins... WHY??
