The Sagnac Effect: The dependence of the speed of light on the rotation of a frame of reference.
The Rigid Body: A body that maintains its shape under the action of external forces.
The Non-Rigid Body: A body that changes its shape and size under the action of external forces.
Uniform Circular Motion: A motion in which an object moves in a circular path with a constant speed.
Non-uniform Circular Motion: A motion in which an object moves in a circular path with a changing speed.
Simple Harmonic Motion: A motion in which an object oscillates back and forth about a fixed point with a constant period.
Composite Motion: A motion in which an object moves in two or more directions.
Rolling Motion: A motion in which an object moves along a surface while also rotating about its own axis.
