Why should I be spinning just because the goddamn log is spinning??

The earth is spinning at an angular velocity **zq equal to one revolution per 24 hr..

The effect of angst is achieved by Shostakovich, Mahler and Berg in compositions of wide dynamic range, at times seemingly spinning out of control ( Mahler ), and atonal music using the twelve-tone row method of composition ( Berg, Schoenberg and others ) to create an angst ridden atmosphere of grotesque sound.

For example, the increase in rotational speed of a spinning figure skater as the skater's arms are contracted is a consequence of conservation of angular momentum.

This second term can be even further simplified if the particles form a rigid body, in which case it is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity of the spinning motion ( as above ).

Spin is often depicted as a particle literally spinning around an axis, but this is a misleading and inaccurate picture: Spin is an intrinsic property of a particle, fundamentally different from orbital angular momentum.

Spinning the shuttlecock is also used to create spinning netshots ( also called tumbling netshots ), in which the shuttlecock turns over itself several times ( tumbles ) before stabilizing ; sometimes the shuttlecock remains inverted instead of tumbling.

The main advantage of a spinning netshot is that the opponent will be unwilling to address the shuttlecock until it has stopped tumbling, since hitting the feathers will result in an unpredictable stroke.

These bacteria move by spinning the whole cell, which is shaped like a corkscrew.

Turntablism embodies the art of cutting, beat juggling, scratching, needle drops, phase shifting, back spinning, and more to perform the transitions and overdubs of samples in a more creative manner ( although turntablism is often considered a use of the turntable as a musical instrument rather than a tool for blending recorded music ).

Some have pointed out that the constellation is on the celestial equator and have suggested that the stars rotating in the night sky may have been associated with Frigg's spinning wheel.

There is a comic strip where Jon's brother Doc Boy is watching two socks in the dryer spinning and Doc Boy calls it entertainment.

It may also resemble a jumping spin roundhouse kick ( developed by James ' Two Screens ' Perkins ) into a spinning hook kick, all in one jump and one spin although the difference is that both legs should remain in the air at the same time for a considerable amount of time.

This kick is also known as a heel kick, reverse turning kick, reverse round kick, spinning hook kick, or spin kick.

This is a spinning kick to the back of the head of the opponent.

A physical understanding of the theorem can be observed in the Magnus effect, which is a lift force generated by a spinning cylinder in a freestream.

A third type that is more sensitive and expensive known as a spinning rotor gauge exists, but is not discussed here.

* The Earth is rotating or spinning around its axis, this is evidenced by day and night, at the equator the earth has an eastward velocity of 0. 4651 km / s ( 1040 mi / h ).

The term is used for several kinds of Italian cheeses that are made using spinning and then cutting ( hence the name, as the Italian verb means " to cut "):

We rode over roads so rough that our Jeep came to rest atop the soil between ruts, all four wheels spinning uselessly.

A returning boomerang has two or more airfoil wings arranged so that the spinning creates unbalanced aerodynamic forces that curve its path so that it travels in an elliptical path and returns to its point of origin when thrown correctly.

The clutch connects the two shafts so that they may be locked together and spin at the same speed ( engaged ), locked together but spinning at different speeds ( slipping ), or unlocked and spinning at different speeds ( disengaged ).

They believe that the star, dubbed the " Champagne Supernova " by University of Oklahoma astronomer David R. Branch, may have been spinning so fast that centrifugal force allowed it to exceed the limit.

In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension ; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn.

Other inventors increased the efficiency of the individual steps of spinning ( carding, twisting and spinning, and rolling ) so that the supply of yarn increased greatly, which fed a weaving industry that was advancing with improvements to shuttles and the loom or ' frame '.

In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension ; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in a Z-twist or S-twist yarn.

Beginning in 2009, a kick or punch that makes contact with the opponent's hogu ( the body guard that functions as a scoring target ) scores one point ; if a kick to the hogu involved a technique that includes fully turning the attacking competitor's body, so that the back is fully exposed to the targeted competitor during execution of the technique ( spinning kick ), an additional point is awarded ; a kick to the head scores three points ; as of October 2010 an additional point is awarded if a turning kick was used to execute this attack.

The gyrocompass ( sometimes spelled with a hyphen, or as one word ) contains a rapidly spinning wheel whose rotation interacts dynamically with the rotation of the earth so as to make the wheel precess, losing energy to friction until its axis of rotation is parallel with the earth's.

A gyroscope, not to be confused with gyrocompass, is a spinning wheel mounted on gimbal so that the wheel's axis is free to orient itself in any way.

However, in a recent edition, she bought the best quality food from a market and raced off to her kitchen to put it in the freezer to keep it fresh ; but she accidentally lost control of her bike on the way and was spinning for 23 days, so when she got to her kitchen, she had rotten food and was too dizzy to put the food in the right bowls.

In a helicopter the maximum forward speed is defined by the turn speed of the rotor ; at some point the helicopter will be moving forward at the same speed as the spinning of the backwards-moving side of the rotor, so that side of the rotor sees zero or negative airspeed, and begins to stall.

If the animal is allowed to survive after spinning its cocoon and through the pupa phase of its life cycle, it will release proteolytic enzymes to make a hole in the cocoon so that it can emerge as a moth.

One impact sent it spinning off its stabilized spin axis so that its antenna no longer always pointed at the Earth, and importantly, its dust shield no longer protected its instruments.

A flywheel is a spinning wheel or disc with a fixed axle so that rotation is only about one axis.

During the Civil War, thirty-three ladies of West Liberty wrote to Governor Francis R. Lubbock in January 1863, petitioning him to relieve Mr. Sol Andrews of his military duties so that he might continue his vocation of manufacturer of looms and spinning wheels, as cloth for clothing was desperately needed.

The left wrist, holding the handhold, is hooked around the left shin and locked in place to keep it steady so it can generate enough downward pressure and speed ; achieved by pushing down with the handhold and spinning the drill.

The center of each piece of glass, known as the " bull's-eye ", receives less force during spinning, so it remains thicker than the rest of the sheet.

# Palm spinning means manipulating one or more balls in the open hand so that at least one ball is in motion.

There follows the last shot in the film, a long shot showing the shadow of the hoop whirling and twirling for almost fifteen seconds ; suddenly in the corner of the frame the hoop itself appears, and as the spinning, which can now be seen as the hoop and its shadow, grows slower, both come into the frame so that at the very end we see the hoop spinning and the shadow that it makes.

Here, for the first time, was someone who could tell us from her own experience what it was like to be extremely sound sensitive (" like being tied to the rail and the train's coming ")... She was asked many questions: " Why does my son do so much spinning?

After spinning upright for an extended period, the angular momentum, and therefore the gyroscopic effect will gradually lessen, leading to ever increasing precession, finally causing the top to topple in a frequently violent last thrash.

The rotational mass of a spinning saw blade combined with a large electric motor can contribute to the violent and unexpected ejection of material.
