Walter Lewin demonstrates the conservation of angular momentum by spinning while standing, using his arms to control his rotation speed. He starts by spinning with his arms extended and then brings them close to his body, causing him to rotate faster. This happens because angular momentum (( L = Iomega )) is conserved, meaning that when the moment of inertia (( I )) decreases, the angular velocity (( omega )) must increase. Conversely, when he extends his arms again, his rotation slows down. Thi

When Walter Lewin spins a bicycle wheel and suspends it by one end of its axle, it creates a striking demonstration of the conservation of angular momentum. As the wheel spins, it develops angular momentum—a vector quantity that resists changes in its orientation. Gravity tries to pull the wheel down, creating a torque. However, instead of the wheel falling, the torque causes its angular momentum vector to rotate, resulting in a slow circular motion known as gyroscopic precession. This phenomeno
