Rotational Inertia - Objects rotating will stay rotating unless acted upon by another force
Reflection
The entire task was extremely fun. My colleagues made it advantageous and I felt myself developing better at correspondence. I had the option to convey my thoughts and can't help contradicting my colleagues without it turning into a contention. By and large it was a really magnificent task and I'm happy I had the partners I did.
