Chapter 10, Problem 1A

Distinguish between a rotation and a revolution.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To explain: The difference between a rotation and a revolution.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The motion of an object around a fixed axis or a point known as circular motion. There are two types of circular motion are: rotation and revolution.

In rotation motion object rotates around a fixed axis or a point which is located inside it. Wheel of car, fan are the examples of rotational motion.

In revolution object rotates around a external axis. Motion of earth around sun, electron revolving around nucleus are the examples of revolution

Conclusion:

Rotation is around the axis within the body and revolution is around the axis which is outside the body.
