Have you ever wondered why bikes stay upright and how they manage to turn corners? It's a common misconception that steering a bicycle is as straightforward as turning the handlebars in the direction you want to go. But the truth is far more fascinating and counter-intuitive. Let's dive into the mechanics of bicycle steering and uncover the secrets that most of us never knew.
Have you ever marveled at the mesmerizing dance of Newton's cradle, where balls collide and seem to defy gravity, or wondered what happens when objects collide at different speeds? Today, we're diving into the physics of collisions, unraveling the mysteries behind the conservation of momentum and energy, and exploring the fascinating world of elastic and inelastic collisions.
Have you ever watched objects tumbled in the air, wobbling and tracing strange paths, and wondered what makes them move with such eerie precision? In today's lesson, we're diving into the physics of rotation and the curious nature of torque. Let's spin into the world of circular motion and discover the forces that keep the world turning—literally.
