5 Questions
Which type of motion excludes the possibility of wobbling or precession?
Axial rotation
According to Euler's rotation theorem, what happens when two rotations are forced at the same time?
The rotations combine to form a new axis of rotation
What assumption is made about the rotation around a fixed axis?
The rotation is stable and requires no torque to keep it going
Are the kinematics and dynamics of rotation around a fixed axis simpler or more complex than those for free rotation of a rigid body?
Simpler
What are the expressions for the kinetic energy of the object based on?
The object's mass and velocity
