|
| 15. | For a spinning top, this force tends to be almost parallel to the rotation axis.
|
| 16. | According to the Davis-Greenstein mechanism, the grains spin rapidly with their rotation axis along the magnetic field.
|
| 17. | Based on the Hubble observations, astronomers calculated a slightly different, and more precise, rotation axis for Vesta.
|
| 18. | If both, the rotation and rotoinversion axes satisfy the previous rule, the rotation axis should be chosen.
