Hello everyone. Take an object in you hands. Throw it in the air. While launching it, your hands will push on the object in different points of it.
The object will ALWAYs rotate, free in the air, about an axis that passes for the center of mass.
Does anybody know why? I found that in that case there is stability.
Does the axis need to be one the principal axes or can it be any axis?
thanks!
