The Most Mind-Blowing Aspect of Circular Motion

In this video we take an in depth look at what happens when a ball is being swung around in circular motion on the end of a string and you then release the string. This phenomenon turns out to be quite surprising! Support this channel: If you like this video please share it with others who you think would find it interesting. And by all means subscribe! This project was supported, in part, by Dickinson College. Special thanks to Aaron Titus and Jeff Regester for being such a big help at High Point University. A big thanks also to Noah Lape for helping with almost every aspect of this video, and for producing such a nice slinky simulation! Lastly, thanks to my Dickinson colleagues for helpful discussions and to Jonathan Barrick for being willing to make me anything at any time! This project was inspired by a paper written by Aaron and Jeff, along with their colleagues and students. The paper was published in the American Journal of Physics and is available here: https://doi.org/10.1119/1.4960475; arXiv version: https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.04037. Although not very math-y, I went ahead and entered this video into #SoME3 Multiple people have asked where I got my shirt. I got it at TulsaTieDye on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TulsaTieDye...
