When a rigid body symmetrical with respect to a reference plane rotates about a fixed axis perpendicular to the reference plane that passes through its mass center, it is said to be in: O centroidal rotation. O noncentroidal rotation. O general plane motion. O translation.

5. What is meant by a rigid body? What is meant by fixed-axis rotation? With the help of an appropriate diagram where needed, define the following for a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis: rotation axis, reference line, angular position, angular displacement, angular velocity, angular speed, angular acceleration. For constant angular acceleration, what are the equations that relate to the angular position, angular velocity, and angular acceleration? Given a particular distance, r, from the rotation axis, how does one relate the following quantities for a particular point rotating with a rigid body: path length, angular displacement, angular speed, linear velocity, tangential acceleration, radial acceleration, and angular acceleration? How is the rotation period related to angular velocity? Describe the vector nature of angular velocity. Why is angular velocity a vector while angular displacement is not?
