Understanding the Effects of Circular and Linear Forces on the Brain"

In summary, the feeling of dizziness when spinning around is caused by the semicircular canals in the inner ear, which are part of the biological system rather than the physical force acting on the body. This explains why a circular force makes the brain dizzy, while a linear force does not.

probably a stupid question! on force.

when we spin round and round we feel dizzy,when we move in front we dont,now considering in both cases a force is acted on body,one force has an effect on your brain where as other does,so what is so special in this circular force that makes brain dizzy,where as linear force dosent.

Thanks for that answer,i didnt realize the source is biology rater than physics,thank you for clearing that doubt.

What is force?

Force is a physical quantity that describes the interaction between two objects or systems. It can cause an object to accelerate or change direction.

How is force measured?

Force is measured in Newtons (N) in the International System of Units (SI). Other units of measurement for force include pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg).

What are the different types of forces?

There are four fundamental types of forces: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak. Other common types of forces include friction, tension, and normal force.

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.

How can I calculate force?

Force can be calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its acceleration. This is represented by the equation F=ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
