ROTATIONAL MOTION

How does the motion of particle P3 differ from that of P1 in rotational motion?

• P3 moves faster than P1
• P3 moves in a larger circle
• P3 remains stationary while P1 moves in a circle
• P3 vibrates

What is the plane of motion for particle P1 in Fig. 6.4?

• Parallel to the z-axis
• At 30 degrees to the z-axis
• Randomly oriented
• Perpendicular to the z-axis

In the context of rotational motion, what does the term 'rigid body' imply?

• It cannot rotate
• It is always at rest
• The distance between any two particles remains constant
• It has zero mass

What causes the precession of a spinning top?

• Friction at the tip
• Air resistance
• Magnetic forces
• Torque due to gravitational force

In rotational motion, if two particles are at different distances from the axis, what can be said about their circular paths?

• They lie in the same plane
• They are parallel to the axis
• They are at 45 degrees to each other
• They lie in different planes but both are perpendicular to the axis
