until now,
this defiantly a mug of coffee explanation in the above video, Steve Mould explains how a solid ball set on a turntable will just roll along and chill for quite some time before eventually leaving off the side, other objects are affected by centripetal force and get slung off pretty quickly, Steve explains the physic behind the Turntable Paradox, technical explanation, Steve explains that "all this has to do with the ball’s mass,
its radius, and the moment of inertia, if you do the proper mathematical
analysis, eventually an equation drops out for the orbital period of the
ball…The orbital period of the ball is equal to the orbital period of the
turntable, multiplied by …the mass of the ball multiplied by the radius of the
ball squared divided by the moment of inertia of the ball plus one. The moment
of inertia of something is just like, how hard is it to get the thing spinning", amazing!
