Question

which situation describes the best example of rotational motion?
the runner circled the track in record time to win the track meet.
the wheel spins as long as the hamster keeps running.
electrons travel around the nucleus of the atom.
the tornado left a two - mile path of destruction.

Explanation:

Rotational motion is the movement of an object around a fixed - axis. A wheel spinning as a hamster runs is a clear example of an object rotating around its central axis. The runner moving around a track is translational motion along a circular path. Electrons in an atom have a more complex quantum - mechanical motion rather than simple rotational motion. A tornado's path is related to its translational movement across the ground.

Answer:

The wheel spins as long as the hamster keeps running.
