MOMENT OF INERTIA ROLLERS

MOMENT OF INERTIA ROLLERS
Demo Number 043
Location Shelf 19
Description The different rollers have different mass disks and different diameter axles. When they roll in the track, the disks will spin at different rates, and so the disks with smaller axles will move more slowly – more energy is put into rotation and less into translation.

Tips
  • It is also interesting to use the inclined track with the open end and let the disks continue on the tabletop after the end of the track. The disks will speed up noticeably after reaching the table.
  • You will need:
    • Wooden track with blocked ends located near the pillar (Demo 409),
    • Metal track with one end
      open.
