Rate of change of the rotation.
1The direction of rotation matters, just like the speed of rotation matters.
2In other words, instead of measuring the deflection, the speed of rotation was measured.
3The greater the speed of rotation, the less the pitch for a given aeroplane speed.
4This continues until the speed of rotation has increased to about 60 revolutions per minute.
5Loss of heat by radiation permitted corresponding contraction in size, and increased speed of rotation.
6To measure the speed of rotation, a tuning-fork, bearing on one prong a steel mirror, was used.
7It contains the volume within a distance that relates the speed of rotation to the speed of light.
8If something did strike the ring, it would strike at a minimum of 770 miles per second, the speed of rotation of the ring itself.
