How cotton candy machine is a physics model |
|
Answer» Answer: What does COTTON CANDY have to do with winds? In the center of the machine, sugar is melted in a spinning drum. As the machine spins, the rotation LEADS to apparent FORCES on the solution that makes it "fly out" from the center. It's the spin that's important - no spin, no cotton candy. In a similar vein, the spin of the earth leads to the COMPLEX patterns of winds that we see on the globe. |
