A pail of water can be whirled in a vertical circular path suchthat no water is spilled. Why does the water remain in the pail,even when the pail is upside down above your head?
You merge onto I45 and catch up with the traffic. On a very flat and straight stretch of the freeway, you are going at 70 mph constant speed.
Is your car at equilibrium at this moment?
Can you turn off the engine at this moment (never do that!) and why?
