Demonstration of Angular Momentum with a Spinning Wheel.

Woman seated on a stool holding a spinning wheel, demonstrating angular momentum with a labeled vector arrow Lspin pointing upward.

The image shows a woman sitting on a stool holding a spinning wheel mounted on a vertical rod. The wheel spins in a horizontal plane, while an arrow labeled Lspin indicates the direction of the angular momentum vector. The woman is depicted with one hand gripping the rod near the wheel and the other steadying it, highlighting how altering the wheel’s axis can influence rotational dynamics.
