Dizzy

So I was sitting on my chair in front of the computer not knowing what to write about for this weeks journal entry. I began to spin in the rolling chair and I realized that that was actually physics. I stuck both of my feet out parrallel to the ground and although it was moving at the same angular velocity, their tangential velocity was more because the radius from my toe to the center of the chair was larger. I began to spin faster and faster. My toes now had a higher tangential acceleration but the same angular acceleration. I began to count in radians the number of spins that I could do. 2 pi, 4 pi, 6 pi, 8 pi, 10 pi, 12 pi . . .



no that is not fire. This is turning into a biology blog.
