When you
push yourself at high speed across that
smooth vinyl floor of your
office while sitting in your
chair, you will likely find that this
law applies to you, as you
slam into a
desk, a
coworker, or your
boss, in which case you may have to find another
office to play
office hockey in.
You may
also find that some
chairs roll better than others. I find myself rolling
smoothest in chairs from
Herman Miller or
Haworth; most of my
momentum gets quickly converted into
heat in the
crappy casters if I'm sitting in one of those $50
Office Depot deals.
