Rotation or rotational/rotary motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an axis of rotation. A plane figure can rotate

Angular momentum (sometimes called moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational analog of linear momentum. It is an important physical

theoretical physics, the spin tensor is a quantity used to describe the rotational motion of particles in spacetime. The spin tensor has application in general

The viscous stress tensor is a tensor used in continuum mechanics to model the part of the stress at a point within some material that can be attributed

Newton's law of gravity. In general relativity, rotational motion is described by the relativistic angular momentum tensor, including the spin tensor, which
