Hey it's me Destin Welcome back to SmarterEveryDay So you've probably observed that cats almost always land on their feet Today's question is why. Like most simple questions there's a very complex answer For instance let me reword this question How does a cat go from feet up To feet down In a falling reference frame without violating the conservation of angular momentum Now I've studied free falling bodies, my own in fact in several different environments and once i get my angular rotation started in one direction, I can't stop it. Today, we're going to use a high speed camera- we're not going to use Alley because this is my daughter's cat, i don't want to hurt it- we're going to use a stunt cat let me...
