Spinning with the bicycle wheel. The person sat on the stool holding the bicycle wheel with the handles vertical and the wheel stopped. Hint the person move counterclockwise.
6. With person feet off the floor (and on the stool’s foot support), the wheel was set to spin rapidly. In which direction is the wheel spinning (CW or CCW)? In which direction was the person spinning (CW or CCW)?
7. The person now stops the wheel. What happens?
8. Explain what happened in terms of conservation of angular momentum.No equations!
10. The person first set the bicycle wheel to spin, then flipped the wheel over. In what direction is the wheel rotating (CW or CCW)?
11. The wheel is now flipped over (so the lower hand/handle is now the upper hand/handle). In what direction does the person now spin? In what direction does the wheel spin?
12. Explain what happened in terms of the conservation of angular momentum.
