Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "The whip effect in physics refers to the amplified motion that occurs in a chain of connected objects, such as train cars or segments of a whip. When the initial end of the chain is moved, a small force can be transmitted and amplified along the segments, causing a much stronger motion at the far end. This happens due to the transfer of energy and the slight delay in the reaction of each part of the chain. In logistics systems, this concept also applies to produc

Galaxies on Instagram: "The Dzhanibekov effect is a physics phenomenon that causes a freely rotating object to flip end-over-end unpredictably, a behavior also known as the Tennis Racket Theorem. This occurs when the object is rotating around its intermediate principal axis of inertia, the axis that is neither the most nor the least stable axis of rotation. Because this intermediate axis is unstable, any small disturbance causes the object’s orientation to suddenly change by 180 degrees. Via: @a
