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 movement around a fixed - point or axis. The wheel spinning as long as the hamster keeps running is an example of an object rotating about its central axis. The tornado's path is linear - like destruction, electrons' motion around the nucleus is a quantum - mechanical concept not a simple rotational motion example in the classical sense, and the runner circling the track is linear motion around a closed path rather than rotational motion of an object about an axis.

Answer:

The wheel spins as long as the hamster keeps running.
