... Euler’s theorem, which we will state without proof, is that the most general motion of any body relative to a fixed point O is a rotation about some axis through O. (See Goldstein, Poole & Safko for a proof.) To specify this rotation about a given point O, we only have to give the direction of the a ...

... Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. Force = Mass x Acceleration The relationship between an object's mass (m), its acceleration (a), and the applied force (f) is “F = ma”. Acceleration and force are vectors. In ...
