Understanding the Coin Rotation Paradox

Key concepts:

  • Number of rotations = (Fixed radius / Coin radius) × Revolutions
  • Distance = 2π × Fixed radius × Revolutions
  • Angular velocity affects rotation speed
  • Linear velocity depends on radius
  • Time calculations assume constant angular velocity

Note: The coin rotation paradox demonstrates how a coin rolling around another coin makes more rotations than might be expected. This is due to the combination of rolling and revolving motions.
