Title: WFU Physics Demo Video: Rotating Person and Weights
Url: https://old.physics.wfu.edu/demolabs/demos/1/1q/1Q4010.html
Creator: Matthews, G. Eric
Publisher: Wake Forest University
Description: This video demonstrates the conservation of angular momentum. In the experiment, as weights are pulled closer to the axis of rotation, a person on a rotating platform will spin faster due to a change in the moment of inertia. This movie is part of a collection of typical lecture demonstration videos put together by the physics department at Wake Forest University.
