What is "rotational"

Usage examples of "rotational".

Altogether it is estimated that the earth is losing some 20 to 40 billion kilocalories of rotational energy every minute.

On every womb-planet in the galaxy Rotational Orientation relative to the home star determines the direction of Migrating Intelligence.

Dogtown was a chaotic subcluster, pinwheeling slowly to itself above the rotational axis of C-K.

When they put it into one of these fifteen-thousand-tonners and change from barbettes to good rotational turrets, they’ll have a real battleship.

Possibly the Creator of the universe got bored with all the usual business of axial inclination, albedos and rotational velocities, and decided to have a bit of fun for once.

Here, due to the combination of track friction, the 'boggan's rotational motion, Coriolis acceleration—.

Here, due to the combination of track friction, the 'boggan's rotational motion, Coriolis acceleration&amp.

Centimeter by centimeter they eased away from the Station, adding just enough thrust at first to let rotational inertia begin their outward spiral.

A proto-galaxy rotating in an intergalactic magnetic field would generate electric fields in the same way, which in turn would produce filamentary currents flowing inward through the galactic plane to the center, and then up along the rotational axis to loop back in a return path reentering around the rim.

If it's a kernel, a Kerr-Newman black hole, it also has rotational energy and a magnetic moment.

The energy we extract comes from the rotational energy of the spinning black hole, and if a hole is not spinning, no energy can possibly be extracted from it in this way.

When two stars condensed together out of a single gas cloud they seemed to take care of each other's excess rotational energy.

The total rotational energy of the Earth is only one-thousandth of the planet's gravitational self-energy, but that is still an incredibly big number.

It flexed the Earth s crust continually as the Earth rotated and it slowed the Earth s rotation, both through that flexing and through the friction of the ocean s water tides on shallow sea bottoms--so that rotational energy was converted to heat.
