You should have shown footage of tank treads to get an easy visualization of the bottom contact point being motionless, since the bottom contact point is really long.
I think when Michael reads this comment he'll bite his nails and question his life choices. He may be a cool meme-y guy at first sight, but on the inside, he's a perfectionist, and not using the clearest visualization will most likely bother him - a lot.
And the same with walking/running. The legs are flat and stationary on the ground (albeit, one at a time). Meaning one leg will look blurrier than the other.
While studying rotational dynamics we were told that the point in contact / leaving the surface of the road of a rotating and translating wheel had no velocity at that instant. But this video helped me visualise it and gave me an intuitive understanding of this phenomenon. Thank you Michael.
A video of idubbbz getting pulled over for speeding and a video where Michael explains how to be more annoying when you get pulled over for speeding were uploaded mere hours apart. Hey, that's pretty coincidental.

Can you please do a video on why when a tire moves quickly it looks like it's moving backwards? Cause I'm really fascinated by that. Edit: I mean in real life. Like when you look at a wheel on a car thags going beside you. I know why it happens on camera. I wanted him to do a video of why it happens in real life. Sorry for the confusion. :)
Rolling Shudder. Explained by SmarterEveryDay and why cameras see the way they do. As for your eyes, I'm not certain, but you can pretend that you see continuous motion in a certain frame rate. Eyes see constantly, but your brain can only process the data so fast. Anyway, wheels spinning forward and backward as they actually get faster is just a product of this phenomenon. If a sensor takes a full image at a time rather than scanning, then you get positional change rather than warping. th-cam.com/video/dNVtMmLlnoE/w-d-xo.html
Cop: Do you have any idea how fast you were going? *Me:* Yes, in fact, the places where my tires hit the road were motionless. Cop: You were going 80 in a 25. *Me:* Sure, and my tires were actually going 160 at the very top. Cop: Set out of the car, sir.
It moves faster than your eyes can actually properly see. Basically, think of like a screen that refreshes at 60hz. Your eyes are kinda the same where they can only see so much movement per time frame and it moves a little faster so i just looks like it moved backwards when your brain pieces it together
The next spoke gets in the spot behind where the first one was in the previous position before your brain or the camera shutter can register the next image.

Another comment asked this question and someone provided the answer, so I'll paraphrase here. When the wheel speeds up, it gets closer and closer to the maximum speed your brain can process the information from your eyes, eventually surpassing it and creating the appearance of reversal. It's basically the same thing that happens if you exceed a screen's refresh rate. If a screen has a 60Hz refresh rate, that means it can process up to 60 frames per second, and anything above that will cause distortion such as screen tearing (which is what VSYNC is for, capping graphical FPS at 60Hz or whatever matches the same rate as your screen). Our eyes essentially have a maximum FPS and anything faster will have a slight delay, causing them to be processed in reverse. Imagine one of those old fashioned flipbook animations. Flipping front to back makes the animation move forward, but flipping the pages backwards makes it play in reverse. That's the effect caused when your brain lags behind. The accelerating wheel appears to slow down then momentarily freeze as the FPS matches the same speed as our brain, then begins "playing" in reverse. You can often see this same effect with old reel film animations. The film reel slows down and appears to play in reverse for a moment! ;)

1:55 I figured it out!!!!! I figured it out!!! it's because the part in relation to the rolling surfice is going in the same direction as the wheel itself!!
This is actually interesting, I've used this effect for checking out what kind of wheels other cars have :D while not being aware of this thing at all, I've just noticed that if I look at the point where tire touches the ground, you can see the spokes clearer.
i actually learned about the part of this effect where the bottom of the wheel doesnt move at all from the animated disney movie The Rescuers: Down Under. they had a scene where they were all on a moving tank tread, sometimes standing on the top, and sometimes sitting between treads motionless on the ground, and as a kid i learned a neat fundamental physics lesson that the wheels contact with the ground is motionless, pretty neat stuff! great vid michael!!!
Have you guys ever seen a wheel spin so fast it seems to actually spin the other way? I.e start spinning a wheel, eventually it will seem to start spinning the other way
@Sassy The Sasquatch It is not at all like the rolling shutter, it is much more like the global shutter. Also it happens rarely in the sunlight, but happens more often when the light comes from the 50/60 Hz lamps.
But what about when the tyre spins so fast that the image of the hub cap it appears to be stationary or sometimes even slowly rotating in the opposite direction?
That's called the wagon wheel effect. one thing that's interesting is that it only happens when electronic displays are involved. in the case of the wagon wheel effect on your computer screen, this would be because the amount it rotates in one frame is enough to closely match one of its rotational symmetries. if every frame it makes a full rotation around to the starting position, then you will only ever see it in the starting position. if it rotates a little bit more than a full rotation, then it would appear to be rotating forwards slowly, and a little bit less would look like rotating backwards slowly. a perfect halfway rotation every frame would just look like it's flashing back and forth, and a little bit off of half would look like the same flashing but also rotating.
@@PokeNebula What you're talking about is related to the framerate a camera captures and the speed at which the image changes. That's how you make the "water flowing backwards" camera trick. But I've seen fans IRL spin so fast that for a second it seems like it's spinning in reverse then slowing down and then slowly switching direction. I think it could also be due to wagon wheel effect due to artificial lighting (tubelight, LED bulbs) which might flicker at a certain frequency and reflect off the blades of the fan.
@@AniketBhatP You are correct. However, I have also personally seen this effect in real time with my own eyes on roads with the sun as the only light source. So unless it also has to do with light bounce and refraction from the road surface interfering with the other photons bouncing off the wheels back to mine eyes... Or simply the inference my brain makes of this mingling of properties as it attempts to translate the experience is up for debate.
So could you roll a wheel at half the speed of light and have the spoke at the top briefly hitting the speed of light? I wonder how that would work out for the overall object since the bottom of it will be motionless.......What about if you rolled the wheel at more than half the speed of light?
Very interesting but physics has you covered, the top part would require exponentially more momentum to reach c. The closer you get the harder it is to accelerate so either the wheel would just feel almost stuck at 0.99c, or it would start to rip apart as any interaction from the nuclear forces only moves at c.
Well when he says the top part would be double the speed relative to the car, so theoretically, if you were going half the speed of light, there tops of your wheels would be entirely invisible, only if you were traveling beside the carat the same speed would you see the effect happen.
If I ever get caught speeding, I will show the officer this video 😂 "ah you see officer, the wheels of my car touching the ground are in fact motionless therefore I was not speeding" 😂👏

I feel like the heavy rain just added to the intensity of this knowledge being crammed into our heads

The morale of this story is good and happy; the moral of this tale is never trust advice on the internet.
i actually learned about the part of this effect where the bottom of the wheel doesnt move at all from the animated disney movie The Rescuers: Down Under. they had a scene where they were all on a moving tank tread, sometimes standing on the top, and sometimes sitting between treads motionless on the ground, and as a kid i learned a neat fundamental physics lesson that the wheels contact with the ground is motionless, pretty neat stuff! great vid michael!!!

Lil Mikey be takin naps all day long yo
Have you guys ever seen a wheel spin so fast it seems to actually spin the other way? I.e start spinning a wheel, eventually it will seem to start spinning the other way
Was thinking about this too! Wanted to check the comments before asking and I found yours hahaha wonder if there's an explanation for that
It's called Wagon Wheel Effect:

Everyone has.
@@viniizero nice! Ya learn something new everyday 👌💯
@Sassy The Sasquatch It is not at all like the rolling shutter, it is much more like the global shutter.
Also it happens rarely in the sunlight, but happens more often when the light comes from the 50/60 Hz lamps.

I missed the: "or is it?" *vsauce music plays* moment
yes
But what about when the tyre spins so fast that the image of the hub cap it appears to be stationary or sometimes even slowly rotating in the opposite direction?
That's called the wagon wheel effect. one thing that's interesting is that it only happens when electronic displays are involved. in the case of the wagon wheel effect on your computer screen, this would be because the amount it rotates in one frame is enough to closely match one of its rotational symmetries. if every frame it makes a full rotation around to the starting position, then you will only ever see it in the starting position. if it rotates a little bit more than a full rotation, then it would appear to be rotating forwards slowly, and a little bit less would look like rotating backwards slowly. a perfect halfway rotation every frame would just look like it's flashing back and forth, and a little bit off of half would look like the same flashing but also rotating.
@@PokeNebula it does not only happen on digital displays m8
@@PokeNebula What you're talking about is related to the framerate a camera captures and the speed at which the image changes. That's how you make the "water flowing backwards" camera trick. But I've seen fans IRL spin so fast that for a second it seems like it's spinning in reverse then slowing down and then slowly switching direction.
I think it could also be due to wagon wheel effect due to artificial lighting (tubelight, LED bulbs) which might flicker at a certain frequency and reflect off the blades of the fan.

You are correct.
However, I have also personally seen this effect in real time with my own eyes on roads with the sun as the only light source.
So unless it also has to do with light bounce and refraction from the road surface interfering with the other photons bouncing off the wheels back to mine eyes...
Or simply the inference my brain makes of this mingling of properties as it attempts to translate the experience is up for debate.
I've definitely seen slow backwards rotation of wheels with my own eyes
I WHEELY like your videos which I'm always SPOKED about a new one, keep up the good work!
Hey not Vsauce Michael here :'(
Hey Dong Vsauce1 here
5:59 tried it this morning, just got out of jail :)
Man do you understand how ready I am for my friends to ask me these questions, even subtlely mention it: just subtlely...
The rain gave me some ASMR and it was very relaxing
So could you roll a wheel at half the speed of light and have the spoke at the top briefly hitting the speed of light? I wonder how that would work out for the overall object since the bottom of it will be motionless.......What about if you rolled the wheel at more than half the speed of light?
The top of your tire would probably just explode or collapse into a singularity before it got that fast.
Very interesting but physics has you covered, the top part would require exponentially more momentum to reach c. The closer you get the harder it is to accelerate so either the wheel would just feel almost stuck at 0.99c, or it would start to rip apart as any interaction from the nuclear forces only moves at c.
Doesn't quite work that way. Relativity applies to rotational motion as well as translational and it's very complicated
Infinite energy would be required to spin and speed up said wheel.
Well when he says the top part would be double the speed relative to the car, so theoretically, if you were going half the speed of light, there tops of your wheels would be entirely invisible, only if you were traveling beside the carat the same speed would you see the effect happen.

If I ever get caught speeding, I will show the officer this video 😂 "ah you see officer, the wheels of my car touching the ground are in fact motionless therefore I was not speeding" 😂👏
I just love the random little things Michael just throws in

Jake, is Hannah after you again?
Is Michael educating us on how to break the law and get away with it?
Lol im surprised no one found your comment.

Yes, he is.
