in parallel axes theorem in rotational mechanics,is it necessary that the axes must intersect the body?
thank you very muchShyan said:No, its not necessary.
Rotational motion is the movement of an object around an axis or center point. It occurs when an object rotates or spins, rather than moving in a straight line.
Torque is a measure of the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the axis to the point where the force is applied.
Angular velocity is a measure of the rate at which an object rotates around an axis, while linear velocity is a measure of the rate at which an object moves in a straight line. Angular velocity is measured in radians per second, while linear velocity is measured in meters per second.
The relationship between torque and angular acceleration is described by Newton's second law for rotational motion: torque is equal to the product of an object's moment of inertia and its angular acceleration. This relationship is often expressed as τ = Iα, where τ is torque, I is moment of inertia, and α is angular acceleration.
The conservation of angular momentum states that the total angular momentum of a system remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque. This means that in the absence of external forces, the total angular momentum of a system will remain constant throughout any rotational motion.
