Study Notes
Rotational Motion Concepts
- A rotation with an internal axis passing through the body's own center of mass is known as spin.
- In mathematics, rotation is defined as a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point in a specific direction by a certain angle.
- A rotation around a completely external axis is termed as orbit.
- Spin involves intrinsic angular velocity, which refers to the rotation of an object about its own axis.
- A plane figure can rotate around any axis that lies in its plane, including internal points, external points, or perpendicular axes.
