Moment of Inertia: Racing Soups

Instructions / Notes:

• This demonstration is a high drama comparison between the acceleration of bean and bacon verses consume soups.
• The demonstration when set up on the floor or two demo tables can give a comparison of the rolling motion over a longer distance.
• This demonstration relies on older type soup can that is no longer in production. Please don't drop or dent the cans.
