Linear motion occurs when a force acts through the center of gravity of a body. Rotational motion arises due to a force applied anywhere else on the body.

Can a single force applied to a body both its translation and rotational motion?

Yes, a single force applied to a body can cause both its translation (linear motion) and rotational motion simultaneously if the force is applied off-center or at a distance from the body's center of mass. This results in a combination of linear acceleration and angular acceleration.


What is rotational kinematics?

Rotational kinematics is the study of the motion of objects that spin or rotate around an axis. It involves concepts such as angular velocity, angular acceleration, and rotational analogs of linear motion equations like displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Rotational kinematics helps describe how objects move and rotate in a circular path.


Opposite the effect of a telescoping ballscrew what is the most efficient way to convert mechanical linear movement into mechanical rotational movement?

By applying a couple away from the centre of the axis of of the body we can produce a torque which in turn produces the mechanical rotational movement.


What is the relationship between torque and the human body?

Torque is the rotational force that can be applied to the human body, such as when lifting weights or performing physical activities. The relationship between torque and the human body is that torque is necessary for movement and stability in activities that involve rotation or twisting motions.


What is torque and state the conditions of rotational equilibrium?

Torque is analogous to force. As Force produces a change in the state of linear motion of a body, Torque produces a change in the state of rotational motion of a body. The unit is newton meter (Nm) and the symbol is tau (τ) For rotational equilibrium, the algebraic sum of the torques acting on a body must be zero. ie. Στ=0

How can a single body have multiple motions?

Basically, a body can only have one motion at a time. However:* The movement can change over time. * This motion can be expressed as the sum of other motions, for example, movement along the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis. * If the object is rotating, it's usually convenient to express the movement as a combination of linear movement (of the center of mass) and of a rotation.


What are examples of muscle tissues in your body?

Many body parts that move on their own (not being carried along, attached to another body part), such as the arm or leg through space, or the throbbing motion of, for example, the heart, these motions are caused by muscle tissue.


Why is angular momentum of a body is equal to the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity?

Angular momentum about the axis of rotation is the moment of linear momentum about the axis. Linear momentum is mv ie product of mass and linear velocity. To get the moment of momentum we multiply mv by r, r the radius vector ie the distance right from the point to the momentum vector. So angular momentum = mv x r But we know v = rw, so angular momentum L = mr2 x w (w-angular velocity) mr2 is nothing but the moment of inertia of the moving body about the axis of rotation. Hence L = I w.


What is linear expansion?

If a body is heated and after heating the body if the expand in one dimension then it is called linear expansion
