Wow wonderful setup Ian! Thanks for the effort. It is noticeable that it's not exactly a 1:3 mass ratio since the big ball doesn't stay stationary after the 2nd collision. It continues to move a little bit in the same direction as the small ball. I bet he will use this as 'conclusive evidence' , eventhough i have already showed multiple times with slow motion footage and timers. I will probably do it again but i don't have much motivation right now as i have done this many times already, showing the same results
Yes indeed, especially steel balls. I simply bought a bag with all kinds of marbles and i was lucky to find a pretty good 1:3 mass ratio. I think bigger balls would be better if the pendulum are that long. How did you attach the strings to the balls? I glued little nuts on the balls to put the strings through@@Ian.Gostling
@@Ian.Gostlingru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6rpoBZusZJY.htmlfeature=shared this one looks like 1:3 mass ratio but we can't know for sure
When you freeze frame between 0:08 or 0:09, it appears as though the two aren't at the same angle (the right larger mass seems to have swung further as its string is at larger angle). This seems to differ from other videos involving a collision of a 1x mass and a 3x mass where both swing to the same height.
Nice set up Ian, Id agree with John, the smaller mass is hitting a bit to low, its easy to see when you slow the video down.and despite that its almost hitting the mark. Nice to see and thanks for sharing Ian.👍😊
@@Ian.Gostling I know all too well Ian, the time and headaches that goes into these so called simple experiments, there is so much implementation involved, those who just sit on their backside with their thumb up their arse and talk a good game, have no comprehension of how involved a so called simple experiment can become.👍😊
