Sentence examples for rotation state from inspiring English sources

According to theory, Hyperion can rotate in a seemingly regular manner over intervals as long as a few thousand years, followed by equally long intervals of completely chaotic tumbling, its rotation state at any specified time being completely unpredictable.

After passing two predicted critical speeds, the amplitude of vibration decreased and reached a stable rotation state.

Our results show that (951) Gaspra has a highly chaotic rotation state induced by an overlap of the s and s6 spin orbit resonances.

While the majority spin a few times to several times each day in principal axis rotation, a small number spin so slowly that they have somehow managed to enter into a tumbling rotation state.

The question of whether a given asteroid will fall into a tumbling rotation state depends on the efficiency of its internal energy dissipation and on the precise way YORP modifies the spin rates of small bodies.

Bacterial chemotaxis pathway design mainly involves two aspects: one is the sensing of attractants or repellents by macromolecules and relaying these signals to the motor; the other is the quantitative relations between the input ligand concentration and output signal controlling motor rotation state.

Asteroids have a wide range of rotation states.

These facts suggest that binary rotation states arise from conformational selection by stacking interactions.

Eventually, our model asteroids reach rotation states that approach regular motion of the spin axis in the body frame.

We designed 135,000 artificial sequences for a repertoire of backbone models representing all theoretically possible axial rotation states.

Instead, bodies losing too much rotation angular momentum fall into chaotic tumbling rotation states where the spin axis wanders randomly for some interval of time.
