Rotational Motion

Introduction to Geostationary satellites A geostationary orbit, also known as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above Earth’s Equator (42,164 kilometers in radius from Earth’s center) that follows Earth’s rotation. Because an object in such an orbit has an orbital period equal to Earth’s rotational period, one […]

The moment of inertia, in physics, is the measure of the volume of rotating inertia of a body, i.e., the resistance of the body showing its rotational speed relative to the axis altered by torque. The axis can be internal or external and can be tilted or straight. The moment of inertia (I) is always

Introduction A rigid body system’s centre of mass is an important feature. Usually, more than one particle is present in these systems. It’s crucial to look at these systems as a whole. These bodies must be treated as a single point mass to perform mechanical calculations. A position like this is referred to as the

When an object or item moves along a straight line, it experiences inertia that restricts a change in its state of motion. It is the inertia of linear motion. Similarly, suppose the object rotates about an axis. In that case, the inertia does not allow a change in its rotational motion state, which is called
