Physics As Applied To Skateboarding
- Centrifugal Force: a force that keeps a body moving in a circular path.
- Rotational Inertia: a measure of an object’s resistance to being turned, depending on both the mass of the object and how that mass is distributed.
- Work: force applied over a distance—for example, you do work when you push a box across the floor, but not when you push on a locked door; work done on an object or system results in an increase in the energy of that system.
