ROTATIONAL MOTION

How does the axis of rotation behave in a fixed-axis rotation?

• It oscillates
• It moves in a circle
• It disappears
• It remains stationary in space

What is the primary factor that differentiates rotation from translation?

• Speed
• Mass
• Color
• Change in orientation

In Fig. 6.6(b), what do the differing positions of P1, P2, P3 indicate?

• The body is shrinking
• The body is melting
• Translation only
• Rotation is occurring

What is the motion of a freely falling rigid body with initial spin?

• Only translation
• Only rotation
• No motion
• Combination of translation and rotation

What is the motion of a freely falling rigid body with no initial spin?

• Rotation
• Combined motion
• Pure translation
• Random motion
