When you can claim you have a Ph.D. on swinging your balls... 👍

@Mark Thoms ofcourse it was 😋

@@Humongous_Pig_Benis best answer !

No that would be against the first law of thermodynamics. The spring dissipates its energy as heat into the surrounding air. The rate of dissipation is not constant but rather an exponentially decaying curve. Assuming you do not add energy to the system the system will come to rest. Nothing is maintained.

Yes, yes very constant...and the moment the ball on the spring was free to fall, that was so casual

nooOOOO

I like it as well.

To understand simple harmonic motion

Nah, there are no gimmicks like that involved here. Basically, the vertical component of the circular motion is sinusoidal, and so is that of a spring. By rotating the table at just the right rate, and giving the spring the same amplitude, they can be in exact synchronicity.

What do you mean?

Why?

That’s exactly the purpose of this demo - to illustrate the SHM of the weight on the spring.

The 8 cm diameter plastic ball is mounted near the edge of a 46 cm diameter disk and is driven by a Bodine Electric Co type NS1-33R speed reducer motor. The disk is cut from 1/8" thick masonite. The mass weighs 20 N, and was fortunately paired with a spring to match the speed of the motor. Illumination is provided by a Kodak slide projector.

@@NatSciDemos• Someone mentioned in comments that is a Classical Experiment & they uttered Newton name in the same sentence. Was this seriously what we tried to do Proving factually that Mass = Gravity?

@@NatSciDemos• I know this OFF Topic yet I feel someone should indeed be made aware that the notion of Earth Rotational Velocity being 1,000 mph is in fact an absolute Fallacy. The circumference towards either Poles is less diameter than at the Equator meaning 1,000 mph morphs into 0 mph at the Poles? If I am traveling 1,000 mph w/ my legs yet my torso is only moving 100 mph. What do you think would happen to Earth let alone the human anatomy if such conclusions were accurate? Earth would cease to exist. Just like the body of that human would be ripped apart. - Thx

@@NatSciDemosIt’s not that your Mathematical Equations are Wrong. It’s rather that your use of Mathematics is not actually describing the Velocity of Earth rotation at all whatsoever. You are literally applying Tire mileage of a Car upon the Earth claiming Small tires rotated at the same Velocity as Big tires cover less Asphalt Mileage. Well obviously yet the Rotation velocity is still Identical, right? The Correct Answer : Earth Rotation Speed is 1/24 Hours. 0.041666666666667 Rotations per Hour. Jupiter Rotation Speed is 1/10 Hours. 0.1 Rotations per Hour. The Solar Rotation is 1/648 Hours ( 27 Days) 0.001543209876543 Rotations per Hour. Obviously the Solar Rotation is way slower Rotation than that of Earth yet you all claimed the exact Opposite. Why is that?

@@NatSciDemos Wow, that's bold

it is used to study SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION (SHM). With this concept, we can apply the phasor method and find the value of time period or distance traveled by the object in a fixed interval of time. This method is conceptually easy and easier.

Folks eyeing this for multiple reasons 💬💡

How’s your anger? Still serving you well?
