The mass doesn’t change, the weight changes…

[Raging.Geekazoid]

Except there's a point at the bottom where the wheel "bounces" and the force is briefly much higher than its weight. High enough to make the average come out the same as if it weren't bouncing. The scale just doesn't react quickly enough to register it. Compare this to a regular ball bouncing on the scale. The force is zero most of the time, but it's very high during the impact phase of the bounce.

[BenjaminGatti]

Nope. It just has an asymmetric acceleration. The disk is bouncing; it spends very little time reversing acceleration which is not captured by the scale, then a lot of time responding to the bounce. You've just hidden acceleration in a time resolution hole.

[tgeliot]

Aaargh! You have a perfect opportunity to use the words "mass" and "weight" correctly, and explain the difference, and you totally blew it! No, the MASS did not decrease!

[emil]

The mass didn't change, the weight did. Two different things

[Zodiaczero]

For those who are still confused, let me explain this in greater detail. The scale measures the apparent weight exerted by the object on the scale, which is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the scale on the object, which is the normal force. The apparent weight is simply the magnitude of this normal force, which balances with gravity when the object is in a rest state, and may differ from the actual weight due to various factors such as acceleration, buoyancy, and air resistance.

When the wheel is in free fall or undergoing free-fall-like motion, such as when it rolls down a ramp, the tension on the string is minimal because the weight of the wheel does not contribute to the tension since the wheel is already in free fall. The tension may still exist due to the rotational motion of the wheel, but it is usually negligible compared to the weight.

When the wheel is at rest or in uniform motion, the normal force from the scale exerts a complete pull on the tension of the string because it supports the entire weight of the wheel and the shelf. This causes the string to become fully stressed, resulting in a greater normal force and a higher apparent weight. However, the actual weight remains the same as long as there are no other external forces acting on the system.

Mass never changes! It is constant throughout the universe. It’s just the acceleration of gravity that decreases as you are in free fall. Hence the weight decreases.

[bijoucat]

The mass never changes, but the weight does.

[xenaguy]

If your scale could react quickly enough, you would see the weight registered jump strongly upward when the wheel hits bottom.

In a few years this man is gonna make an improvised space shuttle, go to Mars and make videos about wildest space phenomena

[PhantomKING]

It must be noted that the actual average weight does not decrease, but the "extra" weight to counter this effect is all concentrated in a short time as the disk changes from going down to going up, and most scales aren't capable of telling differences is weight in short time spams like that.

Fact no one asked for:

Weights calculate the Tension force exerted onto it, then it converts it with F=ma to mass.

[carabela]

It is only in freefall when descending. When it is ascending, it is ballistic and deccelerating. That is why there is less force on the scale in both directions.

[hlwong]

Imagine the case of a ping-pong ball bouncing on the electronic scale. The ball is almost always in the air, so it's weight is almost always not counted. But when the ball touches the scale and bounces, the weight measured should be larger than the ball's actual weight. The problem is that this kind of electronic scale tends to filter out sharp changes of weight it measured, so we cannot see the "positive" sharp peaks of weight in the display

[andmo]

Scales don't really measure mass, they measure weight and convert it. The mass never changes, the weight changes.

[andrewrosen]

The scale isn’t weighing its mass, it’s measuring the force (F=mg) and dividing both sides by m. The equation is thrown off when it accelerates at a rate other than 9.8m/s^2

[Intrepid_Elder]

Mental model of my physics professors screaming: The weight* decreases, the mass of the object does not change.

Not me trying to read the inverted numbers 😂
