∙ 12y agothis reaction is determined normally by several circumstances, fixture, type, of object. direction of force, where the object comes to rest as it may rotate if it falls . however it is fair to say that one of the reactions to force on any object by any force is rotation however small.

When applying a force to make an object move why is it most effective to have the applied force amied directly at the objects center of mass?
Otherwise it will tend to rotate and wont travel in the direction of the force.
Why does the Earth rotate in single direction?
Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.
When applying a force to make an object move why is it most effective to have the applied force aimed directly at the objects center of mass?
The question is based on the false assumption that imparting a rotational motion on an object is not making it move.Applying the force which is not aimed directly at the centre of mass imparts a rotational as well as a translational motion. Why should this be considered any less than only rotational or only translational motion?
How will an object move if it is acted on by a positive net torque and force of zero?
A torque will make it rotate - or change its rotation.
Can a couple be said to be dynamic equilibrium if yes does its resultant moment not contradict the definition of equilibrium?
No, a couple is not in equilibrium, unless there is an equal and opposite force acting against each member of the couple.Be sure to remember that something can still be moving even if it is in equilibrium. It just means it's not accelerating.A2 People often forget that there is a difference between a hypothetical point sized object and a typical sized object when applying the condition for equilibrium. If the forces on an object are equal and opposite it is only the centre of mass that is required to be at rest (or moving at constant velocity). So for a point sized object that means the entire object must be at rest. But for a typical sized object only the centre of mass is required to be at rest. If the applied forces are off centre (as with a couple) it is still possible for the object to rotate about its centre of mass. This is dynamic equilibrium. If one also applies the second condition for equilibrium then you can have static equilibrium (no motion of centre of mass and no rotation) if the system is initially at rest. The second condition for static equilibrium is that there be no net torque on the object. That is the off centre forces tending to rotate the object(say clockwise) must be balanced by other off centre forces which tend to rotate the object counter clockwise.
What does a torque tend to do to an object?
torque tends to rotate an object.
How do you rotate a text box on Microsoft Word for Mac?
On the View menu, click Print Layout.Click the object that you want to rotate or flip, and then, depending on the kind of object that you clicked, click the Format tab or the Format Picture tab.Under Arrange, click Rotate(To rotate an object to any degree, on the object, drag the rotation handle).
How do you rotate an angle in maths?
You don't rotate the angle, you rotate an object by that angle, for example if you had to rotate something 180o it would flip over.

Otherwise it will tend to rotate and wont travel in the direction of the force.
What is importance of screw?
it can rotate or twist object
Is it possible for an object in space to revolve but not rotate?
Yes, an asteroid revolve the sun but not necessary rotate.
Is it possible for an object in space to revolve but rotate?
Yes, an asteroid revolve the sun but not necessary rotate.
What color is a rotate handle you drag To rotate an object?
Green circle. (For Microsoft Office 2010.)

How can an object be made to rotate naturally?
An object needs to have some sort of force exerted on it to start rotating. There are no "unnatural" forces, therefore any object made to rotate will have been made so "naturally."
Is the sun the only object in the solar system that doesn't rotate?
The Sun DOES rotate. See related question.
