Which components of the force create Rotational motion?
Simon Bridge said:Welcome to PF;
How have you attempted to answer the question yourself?
Rotational motion is the movement of an object around an axis or center point. It can be described as the circular or curvilinear movement of an object.
The two main components of force that create rotational motion are torque and angular momentum. Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis, while angular momentum is the measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion.
Torque is created when a force is applied at a distance from the axis of rotation. The magnitude of torque is the force multiplied by the distance from the axis. This creates a rotational force that causes the object to rotate.
The amount of rotational motion created by a force depends on the magnitude of the force, the distance from the axis of rotation where the force is applied, and the direction of the force in relation to the axis.
No, an object cannot have rotational motion without any external force acting on it. In order for an object to rotate, there needs to be a force applied to it, either directly or indirectly through another object or system.
