The cause of rotational motion is a force towards a fixed point called centre of curvature. The outcome of rotational motion is the tendency of the rotating body to move radially- (eg) outward shifting of objects in a car as it takes a curved path.

What is the is the measure of an object's resistance to a change in its rotational motion about an axis called?

The measure of an object's resistance to a change in its rotational motion about an axis is called inertia. It is similar to an object's resistance to a change in its linear motion, but it specifically refers to rotational motion. The greater an object's inertia, the more difficult it is to change its rotational motion.


What is the Difference between periodic motion and rotational motion?

rotational motion is the motion which always take circular path.Periodic motion means motion that repeats with the same inter-well of time.earth rotation is an eg. of rotational motion, at the same time it is a periodic motion.


What is the rotational analog of mass in linear motion?

The rotational analog of mass in linear motion is moment of inertia. It represents an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion, similar to how mass represents an object's resistance to changes in its linear motion.


Does a simple machine only has one kind of motion?

No, a simple machine can have multiple types of motion. For example, a lever can have both rotational and linear motion, while a pulley can have rotational motion.


What is the relationship between the torque on a pulley with mass and its rotational motion?

The torque on a pulley with mass affects its rotational motion by determining how quickly it accelerates or decelerates. A greater torque will cause the pulley to rotate faster, while a smaller torque will result in slower rotation.

What forces are associated with rotational motion?

Centrifugal force and centripetal force are associated with rotational motion. Centrifugal force draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation. Centripetal force is usually the cause of circular motion. Answer2: The curl force is associated with rotational motion, F =cDelxP = 1RxP cp/r sin(P) = 1RxP ma sin(P). Rotational motion is a vector and the rotational force is a vector, 1RxP.


What is the difference between oscillating and rotational motion?

Rotational motion is motion which emulates that of the minute hand of a clock. Oscillating motion is motion which emulates that of the pendulum.


How does a rack and pinion mechanism work?

A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinionengages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion will cause the rack to move.See Here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion
