What is the meaning of coupling between rolling and yawing?
If motions are "coupled" than they are not independent, they happen together at the same time. Roll is turning around the axis you are heading in. (Think of an airplane that rolls to tip one wing down and the other up).Yaw is rotation around an axis going from down below to up above. (Think of a battle tank making a turn in place (driving one track forward, the other backward).If rolling and yawing are coupled than the vehicle will both roll and yaw at the same time.
