Object in box spinning

lytien

If you are inside a box that is spinning, can u detect its motion?

At first i was thinking you cant the same way as if the box is moving forward.

However, I was thinking that moving in a straight line involves one vector while spinning creates different ones so that you CAN detect your motion.

Can someone help me understand this? Thanks in advance for your time!

Rotation is not inertial motion. You can easily detect your rotation.

Or at least, you will experience forces that could be explained by rotation. There might be other explanations.
