Look at this experiment: Why roll the balls after the collision back to each other? Are they magnetic?
Look at the sky reflection, right when they collide.Danger said:I can't really see the spin.
The density distribution seems symmetrical, given how uniformly they roll.zoki85 said:Is it certain that balls/spheres are made homogeneous ?
Okay, I've got it now. When I first looked at it, that arrow thingie just didn't quite register in my brain. It took half a dozen more viewings before it did. (I saw it; I just couldn't figure out what it was doing.) Maybe temporal dyslexia affects visual things as well as spoken ones.A.T. said:Look at the sky reflection, right when they collide.
Maybe there's sidespin as well, so they weren't in a visible spot earlier. Originally, once I realized that they were arrows, I suspected that they might have been digitally added to indicate spin, but that doesn't seem to be the case.RonL said:I'm not sure why I only saw the arrows appear one time ?
Because they cross the upper bright part only one time. But you see them also at 0:17 on the left ball, in the lower right part.RonL said:I'm not sure why I only saw the arrows appear one time ?
Thanks, yes:)A.T. said:Because they cross the upper bright part only one time. But you see them also at 0:17 on the left ball, in the lower right part.
I just read the OP's "are they magnetic?", watched once, then read your spoiler, then watched again and it all made sense.DaveC426913 said:Did no one read my spoiler? It describes the arrows.
I read it, and once I actually realized that they were physically present as opposed to CGI it made sense.DaveC426913 said:Did no one read my spoiler? It describes the arrows.
I didn't get it at first either, just click and drag the mouse like you are selecting text to copy or quote.RonL said:I can't understand what highlight to read, is supposed to do ?
Thanks, I finally figured it out :) I'm pretty simple minded when it comes to finding text that's not visible. :Djerromyjon said:I didn't get it at first either, just click and drag the mouse like you are selecting text to copy or quote.
DaveC426913 said:Spoiler! Highliight to read:
The balls are quite dense. They are running on rails, which means they are rotating much faster than their movement would indicate. There's a lot of angular momentum stored.
That angular momentum is not lost when they collide and bounce off each other. In effect, as they move apart, they are "skidding" - they've lost traction, but are still rotating. Eventually the rotation gains traction on the rails and the spheres accelerate toward each other again.Reviewing the video again, I can see confirmation that I am right. The balls are not perfect; there is an arrow marked on each of them which shows how they are rotating. You can see the arrows in the closeup (as a matter of fact, you can juuuust catch them at the start of the closeup - at 0:19 juuuuust as they disappear into the black reflection at the bottom.) They are rotating the same direction both before and after the collision.
A collision experiment is a scientific investigation that studies the interactions between two or more objects when they come into contact with each other.
Objects can roll back after colliding in a magnetic field because of the forces exerted by the magnetic field. These forces can cause the objects to gain or lose momentum, leading to a change in their direction of motion.
The strength of the magnetic field can affect the rolling back of objects by influencing the magnitude of the forces acting on the objects. A stronger magnetic field can exert a greater force on the objects, resulting in a more significant change in their direction of motion.
Aside from the strength of the magnetic field, other factors that can impact the rolling back of objects in a collision experiment include the mass and velocity of the objects, the angle of collision, and the presence of any external forces or friction.
Studying collision experiments in relation to magnetic fields can help us better understand and manipulate the behavior of objects in various real-world scenarios, such as in the development of magnetic levitation technology or in controlling the motion of particles in particle accelerators.
