When a ball is placed on a spinning turntable, it moves in a circular motion instead of flying off.
The ball's spinning speed matches the turning speed of the turntable, resulting in a curved path.
The ball completes two orbits for every seven turns of the turntable.
The ratio of the ball's orbital period to the turntable's orbital period is 7/2, except for hollow balls which have a ratio of 5/2.
The behavior can be attributed to factors such as friction, moment of inertia, and the absence of outward or inward forces on the ball.
