Imagine living off nothing but coal and water and still having enough energy to run at over 100 mph! That's exactly what a steam locomotive can do. Although these giant mechanical dinosaurs are now extinct from most of the world's railroads, steam technology lives on in people's hearts and locomotives like this still run as tourist attractions on many heritage railways.

Steam locomotives were powered by steam engines, and deserve to be remembered because they swept the world through the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Steam engines rank with cars, airplanes, telephones, radio, and television among the greatest inventions of all time. They are marvels of machinery and excellent examples of engineering, but under all that smoke and steam, how exactly do they work?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Assume that the planet <em>has a defined angular momentum (this is not true due to tidal friction). So if mass is farther away from the center of mass it will have more angular momentum, and if mass is near you will have more angular momentum.</em>

If the mass is similar to the center of mass and slower if the mass is farther from the center of mass, an object will spin faster to combat this. Building skyscraper will also slow down the earth and dropping leaves will raise the angular velocity.

A great example of this is with figure skaters, when they want to spin faster they tuck themselves in tightly, bringing more mass close to the center of mass which increases angular velocity there.
