In rotation motion do points through which the axis passes also rotate or are they stationary?

Rigid body rotation is the motion of an object where all points on the object move in circular paths around a fixed axis. This is different from general rotational motion, where the axis of rotation is not fixed.
In rigid body rotation, the axis of rotation remains fixed in space and does not move or change direction. This means that the object rotates around a single, unchanging point.
Angular velocity is a measure of how fast an object is rotating around an axis. In rigid body rotation, the angular velocity remains constant as all points on the object move with the same speed and direction around the fixed axis.
No, in rigid body rotation, the object can only rotate around a single fixed axis. If the axis changes, it is considered a different type of rotational motion.
Some examples of rigid body rotation include a spinning top, a rotating wheel, and a swinging pendulum. In each of these cases, all points on the object move in circular paths around a fixed axis of rotation.
