What is a solid object that rotates on a fixed axis?
a gyroscope
How did Ptolemy explain the change of constellations during the year?
All the constellations were fixed to a crystal sphere that rotates at a slightly different rate from the Sun's rotation rate. So while the Sun goes round 365 times in a year, the sphere of the constellations go round 366 times.
Does the earth rotate from west to east?
Yes, as observed from high in the north sky. The sun rises in the east thus the rotation goes from west to east.
What is the circular speed at earth's surface?
It depends where you are on the earth, specifically how far north or south of the equator. At the north or south pole, the speed of rotation is zero. The fastest rotational speed occurs at the equator, where a fixed point rotates the entire circumference of the earth in 24 hours. The speed is about 1,040 miles per hour.
How does a geocentric model explain the apparent motion of the stars?
All the stars are fixed to a sphere, which rotates once in 24 hours.
What is a solid object that rotates on a fixed axis?
a gyroscope
Why is a flywheel called a flywheel?
Because it is a wheel which flies or rotates about a fixed axis.
What is the math term for a rotation?
A rotation turns a shape through an angle at a fixed point and it is called a transformation.
What lever rotates around a fixed point?
A lever is a stiff structure that rotates around a fixed point. The fixed point around which a lever rotates is fulcrum.
What is rotation motion?
Rotation describes the motion of an object, in a circular manner, around a fixed center point.
What is an fixed object an animal uses to find its way?
A fixed object an animal uses to find its way is called a landmark.
What is a fixed point on which a lever rotates?
That is the Fulcrum.
What is a fixed point which a lever rotates?

What is it called to jump from a fixed object with a parachute?
base jumping you idiot
What is the antonym of rotation?
Some antonyms for rotation are immobility, inaction, or fixed.
Define the following termsRotation ;Revolution?
Rotation is the act of turning around a central point, like a top spinning on a table. It is typically described in terms of degrees of rotation, such as a full rotation (360 degrees), a half rotation (180 degrees), or a quarter rotation (90 degrees). Revolution, on the other hand, refers to the movement of an object around a larger object or axis. For example, the Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. The time it takes for an object to complete one revolution is known as its orbital period.
What is a fixed point around which a lever rotates?
The fulcrum
