NASA physicians need to know whether the contents of astronauts' skulls (brain, eyes, eardrums, etc.) move so much during rotational maneuvers that injury might be caused. If you are an astronaut in a spinning spacecraft and have an initial angular displacement of 3.14 radians, an initial angular velocity of 3.683 radians per second, and an angular acceleration of 0.02 radians per second squared, what distance will your eyes have traveled around the center of your skull after 26.83 seconds?
