Jeff.. you're exactly right.. but thats exactly why the tires apppear to roll uphill. If a large point mass (larger than the wheel and tire itself) is initially at the top of the tire, it's highly unstable. the slightest bump will cause the tire to turn and lower the center of mass (and potential energy) of the system. It just looks funny 'cause you're used to the center of mass of a tire+wheel being at the hub. You'll notice none of the tires on the incline spin more that 180 degrees. (in fact they dont even make 180, if you think about it)
..sorry i didnt mean for that to turn into a mechanics lecture. |
