[Phys-l] starting the swing, revised




Where "orientation" means "which way my head is facing"?


It's interesting to me to do these gedankenexperiments on a very small
earth (perhaps the size of a beachball) and then keep scaling it up to
see where the momentum goes.

But you can still change your orientation even
If there is absolutely NO static or kinetic friction!
