Rotating Frames
Given a rotating frame composed by three unitary vectors, all the three must have the same angular speed in any instant. In such a frame each vector is a particular case of the previous case (moving particle), in which the module of the vector is constant.
Though it is just a particular case of the previous one, is a very important one for its relationship with the rigid body study, and special tools have been developed for this case. There are two possible ways to describe the angular velocity of a rotating frame. The angular velocity vector and the angular velocity tensor. Both entities are related and they can be calculated from each other.

Famous quotes containing the word frames:
“The bird would cease and be as other birds
But that he knows in singing not to sing.
The question that he frames in all but words
Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
