If Jamal is wearing a loose-fitting shirt and he rapidly spins in a circle, what happens to his shirt and why? Adira, standing nearby, sees Jamal spinning. Will Adira be able to read the text on the back of Jamal's shirt easily while he is spinning, and why?
Respond very briefly.
When Jamal spins in a circle, the loose parts of his shirt will flare out away from his body. This happens because the rotational motion creates a centrifugal force, which is a result of inertia. The parts of the shirt that are not tightly against his body will move outward as Jamal spins due to this force. Adira, watching Jamal spin, will find it difficult to read the text on the back of his shirt because the shirt is moving quickly and constantly changing position, which makes it hard for the eyes to focus and track the text. Additionally, the flaring of the shirt may cause parts of the text to become distorted or move out of view, further complicating the attempt to read it.
