Even how an object is rotating can affect air resistance.

A three-dimensional object rotates around a line called an axis.

Forces that cause extended objects to rotate are associated with torques.

Calculus can show that the object will rotate as if the total force were at the center of volume.

It's also the point around which an object will rotate.

This allows us to determine how an object will rotate dependent on the forces applied to it.

An object in 1 dimension cannot rotate without leaving that 1-dimensional space.

Hence, an object in 2 dimensions rotate about a point.

The oval object rotates counterclockwise, with a period of about six days.

Gold proposed that these objects were rapidly rotating neutron stars.
