Angular Momentum Explained with a Simple Experiment #angularmomentum #physics

Description:
In this video, we explore one of the most fascinating physics concepts — angular momentum — using an engaging and relatable experiment. You've probably seen this setup in coaching centers, where a spinning wheel (or two) is used to demonstrate gyroscopic motion. But we take it a step further!

🔬 What’s Happening?
When a spinning wheel is mounted on a frame, it displays resistance to changes in orientation — this is angular momentum at work. If you add a second wheel spinning in the same direction, the effect remains. However, spin both wheels in opposite directions, and their angular momenta cancel each other out!

🚁 Real-Life Application:
This principle is used in helicopters. In dual-rotor helicopters, the blades spin in opposite directions to cancel out angular momentum, allowing the aircraft to remain stable without unwanted rotation.

📍 Bonus Insight:
Change the orientation of the spinning axis, and the behavior shifts drastically. This illustrates how angular momentum depends on the direction of rotation and the axis of spin.

💡 Whether you're a student, a curious learner, or a science lover, this experiment makes the complex concept of angular momentum incredibly easy to visualize and understand!

Obligated to make the image oscillate as the wheel does ?
