Understanding the Spool Experiment

The video tutorial presents a two-part experiment involving a spool wrapped with nylon rope. The instructor demonstrates how the rope is positioned and asks viewers to predict the spool's movement when the rope is pulled. The discussion includes various predictions based on the rope's tension. Viewers are encouraged to make their predictions using annotations or links provided in the description. This is the first part of the experiment, and viewers are advised not to overthink their predictions.

What is the main object used in the experiment?

• A ball

• A spool

• A stick

• A wheel

What are the possible directions the spool might move when the rope is pulled?

• Up or down

• In a circle

• Left or right

• Forward or backward

What factor might influence the direction the spool moves?

• The material of the spool

• The way the rope is pulled

• The length of the rope

• The color of the spool

What happens if the rope is loose?

• The spool will spin around

• The spool will stay still

• The spool will move to the left

• The spool will move to the right

What is likely to happen if the rope is tight?

• The spool will move towards the puller

• The spool will move away from the puller

• The spool will not move

• The spool will spin in place

What should viewers do to make their prediction?

• Call a friend

• Send an email

• Click on an annotation

• Write it down

What is important to remember about the experiment?

• It is a single-part experiment

• It is a two-part experiment

• It is a three-part experiment

• It is a four-part experiment
