If you spin around on a stool and stop suddenly, the room seems to continue to move. Explain?

Answer 1

The fluid inside your ear that gives your brain it's sense of balance continues to move due to momentum, and gives your brain the sense that you're still moving.

Answer 2

It is your eyes, not the room that gives this allusion. Spin someone on a stool and stop them suddenly. Look at their eyes. If done correctly, the eyes continue to move in the direction you were spinning for a brief time. This gives the person being spun the vision that the room is still moving.
Have fun finding volunteers.

Answer 3

Anything not tied down (at the equator) would go flying into space at 22.5 degrees, at about 30.465 km/s, based on my calculations (but what do I know, I'm 13). This would be freakin' sick to watch, but utterly fatal to everything on Earth bigger than a small bacterium (I think).

Answer 4

the fluid in the inner ear that allows us to have balance is still moving. the brain has our eyes trained to move in the direction of the movement of the fluid. until the fluid stops swirling your eyes automatically keep moving to keep up with the ears.

Answer 5

your brain is surrounded by fluids, when you spin all of it moves. When you stop moving, the fluids keep your brain moving for a second

Answer 6

your brain isnt quick enough when u stop so sudden so therefor u make urself think ur still spinning which causes everything else around u to spin [JEEPERS]

Answer 7

It has to do with the equilibrium in your inner ear that is "balanced" by fluid.

Answer 9

equilibrium

Answer 10
