Have you ever wondered that, even if they are tilted, they will never “fall”?
For young people 7x – 8x, the toy is not very strange. The familiar toy no matter how it sways, shakes left and right, falls forward and backward, but flips and never falls…
But what mechanism makes the rush never fall, you know?
The 7x-8x boards must be no stranger to this toy, right?
We have learned that, in order for an object to be stable and not fall, two conditions must be satisfied:
Therefore, the larger the bottom area, the lower the center of gravity of the object, the more stable the object is, not easily knocked over.
The balancing mechanism of tossing.
Rushing is said to be one of the prime examples of this principle. Playing with tumbling you know, the body of the tumbling is very light, only their lower body is heavy. This heavy part can be a piece of iron, or lead. Therefore, the center of gravity of the toss is very low.
On the other hand, the lower body is quite large and smooth, so it is easy to fluctuate. When the toppler tilts to one side, the distance between the fulcrum (the point of contact between the tumbler and the floor) and the center of gravity of the object will change.
The lower body is quite large and smooth, so it is easy to fluctuate.
The greater the inclination of the toss, the greater the distance between the fulcrum and the center of gravity, and under the influence of gravity, the tumbler will always sway around the fulcrum until it restores its old position. Therefore, they will never be spilled.
In physics this is called stable equilibrium – stationary objects that, after being subjected to a small impact, can restore their equilibrium to their original position.
Now you know why you can always ” stand up “ by yourself no matter what direction you’re knocked down?
