Sentences with phrase «rotational motions in»

Last month, when lasers began coursing around the edges of the tetrahedron, Rotational Motions in Seismology (ROMY), as it is called, began its reign as the most sophisticated ring laser in the world, capable of sensing how Earth itself twists and turns.

Although such measurements have been performed in much larger scale systems, the latest results were achieved within a micrometer - sized waveguide — a thin wire that guides light — and demonstrated the use of optical torque to induce rotational motion in a microscale mechanical device.

The cam shaft is also responsible from turning a rotational motion in to an up and down motion.

Not exact matches

Rotational or circular motion gives rise to, for example, the familiar centrifugal force, the presence of which may be recognized without reference to changes in motion relative to any surrounding system of material objects.8 Newton illustrates the significance of this step in his position with his famous «bucket experiment» (PNP 10f).9

Back then, most researchers were working on making supramolecular systems that were able to perform either linear or rotational motions — «but Jean - Marie said, when I arrived in the lab, «You know, the most important mechanical motion in the world is the coiling motion of the proteins in the biological world,»» Barboiu recalls.

The Earth continuously receives 3,700 billion watts of power through the transfer of the gravitational and rotational energy of the Earth - Moon - Sun system, and over 1,000 billion watts is thought to be available to bring about this type of motion in the outer core.

In contrast to these seemingly random rotational motions, the moons follow a surprisingly predictable pattern as they orbit the binary planet formed by Pluto and Charon.

It's the same process that's gradually driving the moon's orbit outward: Tides raised by the moon in our oceans are gradually transferring Earth's rotational energy to lunar motion.

In physics, torque can informally be thought of as «rotational force» or «angular force» which causes a change in rotational motioIn physics, torque can informally be thought of as «rotational force» or «angular force» which causes a change in rotational motioin rotational motion.

«Very short laser pulses, which last only a few billionths of a second, are shot at different positions in space to determine the speed, direction of motion and the rotational motion of the objects,» explains Dr. Dr. Oliver de Vries.

In the model microscopic system developed by scientists from Bristol, Düsseldorf, Mainz, Princeton and Santa Barbara, a ring of colloidal particles are localised in optical tweezers and automatically translated on a circular path, transferring a rotational motion to an assembly of identical colloids confined to the interior regioIn the model microscopic system developed by scientists from Bristol, Düsseldorf, Mainz, Princeton and Santa Barbara, a ring of colloidal particles are localised in optical tweezers and automatically translated on a circular path, transferring a rotational motion to an assembly of identical colloids confined to the interior regioin optical tweezers and automatically translated on a circular path, transferring a rotational motion to an assembly of identical colloids confined to the interior region.

Part of the kinetic energy of the swirling molecular ions is absorbed by the helium atoms in collisions, and these atoms in turn transfer it to the rotational motion of the ions, thus raising their rotational temperature.

This rules out reciprocal motion — such as the way a fish uses their fins — so the microswimmers must rely on nonreciprocal motion similar to that of bacterial flagella, in which rotational motion is converted to translational motion.

The four distinguishing characteristics of the spirals are: (a) they have more orderly, rotational motion than random motion (the rotation refers to the disk as a whole and means that the star orbits are closely confined to a narrow range of angles and are fairly circular); (b) they have some or a lot of gas and dust between the stars; (c) this means they can have new star formation occuring in the disk, particularly in the spiral arms; and (d) they have a spiral structure.

In the 1910s and 1920s, Adriaan Van Maanen, an astronomer at Mount Wilson Observatory and friend of Shapley's, measured the internal rotational motion of several spiral nebulae.

Bond - stretching motions in the molecules» infrared spectra are too similar to parse, and many PAHs lack strong polarity, making signatures in their rotational spectra — typically collected with radio telescopes — difficult to detect.

Each stroke leads to greater range of motion around the shoulder joint and through the torso and hips, which is particular helpful for sports that demand rotational motion like baseball, golf, or even the throwing motion in football.

Tip # 3: Make sure that you include rotational exercises and side bending motions in your core workouts.

Here's the problem: Since the weight never travels up or down and remains in the same horizontal plane of motion, the rotator cuff — which is supposedly responsible for directing rotational movements at the shoulder — never gets activated.

Rotary engines are unique in that they generate power through the rotational motion of triangular rotors (unlike the reciprocating pistons in conventional automotive engines).

A big part of that is the massive increase in efficiency in converting stored power (battery in this case, liquid fuel in gasoline's case) into rotational motion of the wheels.

The controller was based on the same basic design as the PlayStation 2's DualShock 2 controller but was wireless, lacked vibration capabilities, had a built - in accelerometer (that could detect motion in three directional and three rotational axes; six in total, hence the name Sixaxis) and had a few cosmetic tweaks.

A completely wrong understanding of the QM related to vibrational spectra; electronic spectra are in the UV, the IR involved in CO2 absorption / emission is due to vibrational / rotational motion of the atoms not the electrons.

Acer's Windows Mixed Reality Headset will feature motion controllers, with the statement that «when the headset is paired with the controllers users can take advantage of the full position and rotational tracking in the headset to easily create content or play games.»
