Low pressure spins clockwise in south america. This is because air wants to flow from high to low pressure, but is deflected to the left. This results in a clockwise flow.

How do you describe the direction of rotation when the measure of an angle is positive?

Anticlockwise.


What are the differences between positive and negative torque in mechanical systems?

Positive torque in mechanical systems causes rotation in one direction, while negative torque causes rotation in the opposite direction. Positive torque is typically associated with tightening or accelerating, while negative torque is associated with loosening or decelerating.


What is the difference of counterclockwise and clockwise?

Referring to the direction of rotation, a clockwise direction indicates rotation in the same direction as the hands move on the face of a clock. Counterclockwise rotation is in the opposite direction.


What is the definition of retrograde rotation?

Retrograde rotation is when an object rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit. This is opposite to the more common prograde rotation, where the rotation and orbit are in the same direction. An example is Venus, which rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction compared to the direction it orbits the Sun.


What has to be interchange in order to reverse the direction of rotation of shunt generator?

the direction of the rotation of dc shunt generator could be changed only by changing the direction of rotation of the prime mover


Can you change the rotation direction of engine?

No, you cannot change the rotation direction of an engine easily. The direction of rotation is determined by the design and placement of engine components such as the crankshaft and camshaft. It would require significant modifications to the engine's internal components to change its rotation direction.


How does retrograde rotation compared with the rotation of Earth?

It means that the rotation is in the opposite direction.


What do you call spinning in a counterclockwise direction?

Spinning in a counterclockwise direction is called anti-clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation.


Is rotation scalar or vector?

Rotation is a vector having a direction and magnitude.


In what direction is the Earth's rotation axis always oriented?

The Earth's rotation axis is always oriented in a north-south direction.


Which describes a transformation using rotation?

The centre of rotation, the angle of rotation and, unless the angle is 180 degrees, the direction of rotation.


Is counterclock wise rotation east or west?

You've got to be careful with these Earth rotation directions. It depends on which pole you're lookin from. If you look down on the North pole then counterclockwise motion would be California rotating toward New York so you would call it rotation East and this would be the Earth's actual direction of rotation. However if you looked at the same rotation up at the South pole you would call it Clockwise rotation. In most cases of rotation it is understood that you look down along the axis but sometimes its not clear and you should specify how you are looking along the axis before you say clockwise or counterclockwise.
