The Physics Behind Figure Skating: Grace and Precision on Ice

The video explores the physics behind figure skating, focusing on pirouettes, jumps, and lifts. It explains how skaters maintain momentum and balance using principles like angular momentum and the gyroscopic effect. The role of the vestibular system in managing dizziness is also discussed, highlighting how training helps skaters adapt to these physical challenges.

Describe the relationship between speed of rotation and the position of a skater's arms.
