Rotational motion refers to the movement of an object around a fixed point or axis. It occurs when an object spins, rotates, or turns in a circular or curved path rather than in a straight line.

These include a printable and flexible gyroscope that measures
rotational motion of the head and body balance and a printable and flexible 3 - D accelerometer that measures lateral head motion and body balance.

rotational motion in a microscale mechanical device.

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.
One remarkable feature of the Nexus graviton which distinguishes it from the graviton hypothesized in the Standard Model is that it is not a messenger particle but rather it induces a
constant rotational motion on any test particle embedded within its confines.
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 researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Heidelberg and the group led by Michael Drewsen at Aarhus University froze
molecular rotational motion at 7.5 K (or -265.65 °C).
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.
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.
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.
In New Plastic Shoda # 6, the artist uses a stylized calligraphic character that serves to simultaneously anchor the background portion of the picture plane while depth and a
graceful rotational motion is provided by the geometric image that floats, seemingly effortlessly but with a certain dynamic persistence, in the work's foreground.
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.
With
the rotational motion of the whip kick, up to 86 percent of breast strokers may experience knee pain due to increased medial stress to the joint.
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.
In physics, torque can informally be thought of as «rotational force» or «angular force» which causes a change in
rotational motion.
Buried near Munich, Germany, is
Rotational Motions in Seismology (ROMY), a giant ring laser.
«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 region.
We also studied a case where you have a strong component of
rotational motion.
The chemists then studied the intermediate using microwave spectroscopy, which revealed details of
its rotational motions.
For example, if the rock rotates 80 times in going down the sheet of ice,
the rotational motion and the rotational energy is much greater than in a regular curling shot and so it becomes interesting to see what you get as a result of this higher rotation.
Surprisingly, it also represented
the rotational motion for illusion images that were not moving physically, much like human visual perception.
In a paper recently published in EPJ Plus, Norwegian physicist Øyvind Grøn from the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences and his co-author Torkild Jemterud demonstrate that
the rotational motion in the universe is also subject to the theory of relativity.
«You were right:
Rotational motion is relative, too, Mr. Einstein!.»
This effect is also exploited by the team to heat
the rotational motion of the molecular ions through the amplification of the regular micro-motion of trapped particles.
However, there is also a temperature for the internal vibrations of a molecule, as well as for
the rotational motion around their own axes.
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.
The scientists do this by exploiting the fact that
the rotational motion of the molecules is quantised.
The C$ ^ -LCB- 18 -RCB- $ O emission traces
the rotational motion of the circumstellar disk.
Currently, they are measuring
the rotational motion of solvent molecules, solute molecules, and combinations of solutes and solvents using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
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.
She recently proposed a modified version of Verlinde's theory that could better describe
the rotational motions of most galaxies.
The pectorals are predominantly used to control the movement of the arm, with the contractions of the pectoralis major pulling on the humerus to create lateral, vertical, or
rotational motion.
Moving the Steel Mace in
this rotational motion while simultaneously adding a shoulder press at the top...
Moving the Steel Mace in
this rotational motion while simultaneously adding a shoulder press at the top of the rep will go far in making your upper body stronger as well as more flexible.
Most injuries to the lower back occur in
a rotational motion.
However, the obliques work at maximum effectiveness when you do twisting crunches or
rotational motions.
The cam shaft is also responsible from turning
a rotational motion in to an up and down motion.
Rotary engines are unique in that they generate power through
the rotational motion of triangular rotors (unlike the reciprocating pistons in conventional automotive engines).
It converts
the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels.
