Uphill roller?? #science #physics #stem

[МихаилБогданов-мк]

Сила тяги за счёт конуса в направлении расширения, обратный скат за счёт ровной площади, учите физику, нечего сложного в этом нет !!!

[GarrettOtt-lsml]

I was like ahh 🤨 and Then it clicked in my brain. Ive literally never seen this experiment before

[OBGynKenobi]

I see it differently. The tapered object is actually going downhill because the tapered surfaces go from high to low, "downhill."

[timdacey]

Ty. I had no glasses in high school, a bad eye, and problems at home.
I get this. ❤

[alainpbat]

The fact the camera is not level to the table is making my inner ear cry

[NothingFancyJustUs]

Actually. It's all things move with the path of least resistance, unless an external force is used against it, which then forces it to move to another path of least resistance.

[isaacomotayobakare]

So is gravity inherent or dependent on center of mass ?

[최민태-dc]

I'm wondering if a similar structure could be designed to move supplies over a long distance without using power

[TheJollyBlobster]

Could you average the shape of the two objects and get something that doesn't roll either way?

[Mr.Kumar]

Seen this but whats the use of this principle, taken loads magically uphill wothout energy?

[hardcore]

Have nothing to with center of mass. There identical for both. Its just the shape that change in what direction its goes down.

[daytradersanonymous]

Center of mass yes but your taper just creates a slope on a perpendicular axis to the "downhill slope"

[urhvn]

And that my friends, was how the pyramids were made

[jonathan]

I see gravity is pulling both of them in different directions but removing the energy and retuning them to neutral nontheless.

[MrLee-cypw]

The wooden track is in the shape of a V, and the second roller is tapered. As it moves to the left the track gets wider and the tapered roller sinks lower and lower. It has nothing to do with the notch being lower than the center of mass, this trick would still work if nobody carved the notch lol. If you elevate the left of the V track higher so that it has a steeper slope, then the second tapered roller wouldn't roll to the left.

[mrwildticker]

Okay I get it but I'm slightly curved around the edges but I sweat a shit ton trying to go up a hill?

[natehill]

Like the old "Gravitation" game.

[Udmudmudm]

Ne ho costruito uno in marmo di Carrara e legno di olivo come regalo per una mia cliente, un'ottima cliente!

[Anarchist]

NOt breaking fysics, but my mind was fryed...

[Ryan-lkpu]

Can you imagine the first scientist, probably back in the enlightenment trying to figure this out...

Its so simple but if you don't know, you don't know!
