Physics in Action: Science Experiment with Tip & Spin 

especially getting off

I mean you can absolutely have it be just a meter- or maybe a little more- off the ground and have cushioned gym mattresses below so you can literally just jump and brace with your legs

@@bdancestars 😭😭😭

@@VitaeLibra thats scary as hell

My thought exactly...

Exact same principles!

I have one right here! Its blue, green, and white, and the thick parts on the ends of its wings stick out past the point of the beak to balance out the body and tail. Ricardo has been balancing on a pencil eraser in my pen cup since middle school!

i got one of those as a kid and i still have it, though the color is starting to fade

Oh man! Loved that as a kid

Oh I had one that was a space shuttle

That’s cool

I literally said the same thing just now, but I would love them to be a voice actor.

@@Char10tti3theres only one person in the video

​@@maddiejomama and?

​@@maddiejomama Them can be used for a singular person. Did you not listen in school?

Morgan is amazing at what she does!

This is all true if you ignore the little important detail she didn't explain

​@Ole_Rasmussen which is?

Now put it 100ft up above the ground and you'll be cured

How so? It's literally worse. This is moving around in waving motions. The other is standing on a stable solid ground and being scared of falling

@@Nameentered thats the part. Even on a Solid stable table you would be scared of falling. But this thing is not only higher, but also waving around. The cure is that the fact that you won't fall. You just have to trust the machine (which in a Situation without the machine, you have to trust yourself)

Gentle recommendation: rock climbing at an indoor gym with autobelays

​@@sarah.s.flanagan Auto belays?

I went to the museum of science every grade level in Massachusetts for field trips, I'm almost sure it's mandatory

​​@@mrmaple4235 sadly not in other places :(

@@sophisticatedtoad I assume that's because it's in Boston :/

@@mrmaple4235 I wish they let other schools do these fun things!! but do they ever get boring?

I don't think I would trust a child with even climbing that ladder, nevermind the actual attraction itself.

That's fascinating

I was exactly saying that to myself.

Been on a boat that flipped over. ;) I’m very tall and quite big as well… I love science, but you will not convince me that I won’t somehow be Too Much for the effect. It’s a PASS from me, bro

@@RM-hi4vv how big was the boat? 😳

Saw her demonstrate the faraday cage live at Boston Museumof science a few months ago it was pretty cool!

Our museum educators have a very interesting set of skills!

​@@museumofscience How is that even possible? It sounds like it was recorded in a studio with a microphone close to your mouth

​@@cristianjuarez1086You got quite a few good lavalier lapel mics nowadays.

​@@cristianjuarez1086 lav mic prob

@@cristianjuarez1086 Lav mic. You can even see it on her lapel

Exactly right! What an important application of mechanics with a dash of fluid mechanics!

And the poles people use to walk tight ropes

​@@rwiersema Yeah! Science!

​@@museumofscience Spent over two decades working in aviation safety for the FAA. Safety is a mind set. So for example what are the stresses on that pin? If it fails, will it be gradual with warning cracks, or catastrophic where the pin breaks and the attached structure can hit you/pin you? Here a rigid but brittle metal, like aluminum, is more likely to catastrophically fail than many steels. If someone is actively trying to mess with the system by let's say starting an oscillation, like going higher and higher on a swing - if someone essentially is trying to sabotage this inherently safe system are they able to overcome this? I'd love to see the maths (been listening to a little too much BBC news radio here). And again, how does the pin material respond to this kind of deliberate abuse. Also, with respect to the pin end and the divot it is in, how much heat is generated? If there is a lot of weight on that point, it could get surprisingly hot. I don't know If the difference in weight, let's say between the youngest/smallest people permitted on this, versus a large morbidly obese adult, is significant enough compared to the total mass to make a substantial difference in the heat at the pin end/holding depression? I've seen too many accidents that could -not- happen. Awesome video for kids, and your science museum, but for three years I was a training officer (versus specialist, but only big facilities had a dedicated training specialist). I guess I'm a killjoy now - and this from someone who spent over 5 years with just a motorcycle for transportation. Yes, even with that I always wore a full face helmet, wish I started off with because in my size of XXL a full face helmet was cheaper. Then I laid it down at high speed one time due to two people in stopped cars, in the road, in a blind dip, talking on a Sunday morning - and afterwards when I got to work people asked me what happened? There were three gouges slightly off center on the lower face protection. They actually were through the shell. Belt and suspenders. :)

​@@shawncarroll5255you're thinking way too hard about this

Cap

The moment you got enough momentum that the weights are above a certain point it would immideatly lose its balancing trait. Same with the tip. At some point it cant hold on but i think you will de balance it before that

If enough force is applied it can dislocate. She says if you big enough or strong enough you could lift it. Its probably designed according to a certain weight group. so if you beyond that you cant go on the ride. like a roller-coaster hight restrictions

Yes. Absolutely. The small toy version of this is easy to move off the edge by simply using that same motion. Playground swings have the same problem where if you go high enough a kid can make the structure lift off the ground

Looks like the ends can hold different plates so for best results you'd adjust per person's weight. You could still fall off with enough effort i think

I was about to comment that it could eventualy slide of tha pole but then I noticed it was recessed by a few cm. It is enought to keep it alwas above the pole, even if ever slightly slide sidewas after each swing. If it slides too much it would just hit the side and slide back into the center (but you would feel it and could have soem goosebumps, I guess 😅)

How do you know? Do you have one?

​@@01hZ yes

⁠@@01hZso do I have one

I don’t think it’s much working out at all, just shifting your weight around

​@@01hZthey said they bet. Not that it is.

Thank you so much! We have more to come for sure!

“Now I demand spinning” 😂😂

@@kd_ssMe too honestly. Let’s make it a carnival ride >:)

LET IT RIP!!!

@@shyshy1894 😏😏😏🔥🔥🔥

the science experiment ever

COSI?

COSI in Columbus??

Ah yes bc today young minds don’t learn physics anymore apparently

​@@Shakenbake-in9uxyou apparently didn't learn basic punctuation or manners. You might want to edit your reply.

He has English as a second/third language, and thus isn't native level

​@@sandra-joneslmaooooo what, their message is fine

@@rosaline9818 not sure what you're talking about., please clarify.

Boston you're my home

Please make this a ride!!!!! I'd pay real life money to ride this

she*

It's so cool to see it scaled up, isn't it?

I made one of those toy in metal shop in middle school!

Same!

We're trying to share science with people all over the world!

When I was a kid there was no RU-vid so this comment sounds funny. Everything has a RU-vid channel now.

Generally roller coasters are safer than this.

Physics rules!

@@museumofscience I see what you did there and I'm happy you did it :p

If enough force is applied it can dislocate

I may trust physics, but I sure as hell don't trust engineers

@@TheeArtSmith Yeah but the amount of force applied to do so would have to overcome the weight of the two weights enough to lift the center of gravity up high enough. In other words, the human body isn't going to do that alone.

"Okay, great! Can we make this go 50 mph?"

Our museum educators are such great presenters!

Physics!

didn't she just explain it? 😊

​@@smellycat57no bc if the metal got worn away enough it coulf still slip out by warping the balance point

​@@danielmckinney7668I think the adjustable weight at the bottom serves to get the center of mass where they want it to be. By how the red pin moves, to me it looks like the pivot point is just below to where it would be when the contact point would be flat, so it is probably somewhat concave to prevent it from slowly creeping off center. See also the smaller version she demonstrates.

Or bend?

oooh what is it?

The best science fiction is grounded in science fact!

They never account for the small extra physics variables outside of the main lesson they are teaching

Thank you! Because I googled museum of science and got varied Smithsonian suggestions…..

Thank you so much!

Physics is so foundational to so much in our world!
