Because it only appears to be rolling uphill--it is actually rolling downhill, as it must. The reason for the illusion is as the V-shaped grove the cone rolls widens the contact point on the cone are further from the center thus allowing the CG of the cone to lower as it rolls. Many so-called "Mystery Spots" (like the one in Santa Cruz, CA) use the technique using a ball rolling down a narrow groove that gets imperceptibly wider thus creating the illusion the ball is rolling uphill when it fact is not.

Why would a new pine grow from a cone that fell from a tree?
A new pine tree can grow from a cone that fell from a tree because cones contain seeds that can germinate and sprout under the right conditions. When a cone falls and releases its seeds onto the ground, they may be able to take root, receive water and sunlight, and start growing into a new tree.
What is called when pollen is transferred from the male cone to the female cone in gymnosperm?
The transfer of pollen from the male cone to the female cone in gymnosperms is called pollination. This process leads to the fertilization of the ovule and the development of seeds.
Does a male or female cone produce seeds?
Female cones produce seeds. They contain the ovules that are fertilized by pollen from male cones, leading to seed development.
What is the scottish word for pine cone?
The Scottish word for pine cone is "tappie".
What is the name of the kauri tree male cone?
A male kauri cone is called a Catkin.Kauri trees can live for 200-2000yrs
What is the principle of double ended cone?
details about double ended cone
A plane figure formed by the intersection of a double right cone and a plane?
By "double right cone" do you mean one right cone sitting normal with another right cone upside-down atop the first cone? If so, then we you take that double right cone and intersect it with a plane at different angles, you get the conic sections. (i.e. hyperbola, parabola, elipse, circle)
Is a parabola formed when a plane slices through a double cone perpendicular to the bases of the cone?
No. A hyperbola is formed when a plane slices a cone perpendicular to the bases.
How to form a double cone using a right-angled triangle?
u have to imagine it revolving... only this way it's possible to form a double cone with a right triangle.
Why cereal bowls are not shaped like a cone?
because you wouldn't be able to eat all of it because the bottom of a cone is deep and you wouldn't be able to stick your spoon all the way down there
What happens to the volume of a cone if the radius is double and the height is unchanged?
Since the volume of a cone is proportional to the square of the radius (look at the formula), double the radius would mean four times the volume.
How do you find the general equation of cone using C language?
If you mean the "general equation of a cone" to be the elliptical cone equation: z = √( (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 ) ... then the function in C to compute this given the proper variables is: double genEqCone(const double x, const double y, const double a, const double b) { const double X_A = (x/a); const double Y_B = (y/b); return sqrt((X_A * X_A) + (Y_B * Y_B)); }
A right circular double-napped cone is intersected by a plane that is parallel to the generator of the cone two conice sections that could be form are?
i suppose it is an hyperbola
What can you make a cone shaped mold with for chocolate?
You might be able to go to a machinist and have them bend and weld a cone shaped piece of sheet metal for you.
Are stalagmites cone shaped deposits?
Yes, stalagmites are cone-shaped mineral deposits that form on the floors of caves from dripping mineral-rich water. They grow upwards from the cave floor over time, typically made of minerals such as calcite or aragonite.
What shape is volcanoes?
The basic shape of a volcano is like that of a cone with it's bottom faced downwards towards the earth and the top pointy hole part facing upwards towards the sky! However there is a type of volcano which has a plain shape and that is a dead or an extinct volcano!Cone
A shape which has 2 vertices which are not next to each other?
A double cone, or variants on the theme.
