    A 5-1 takes its name from using 1 setter and having 5 attackers on the court. The secondary setter is replaced by an opposite hitter who is always opposite the setter on the court. This formation allows the setter to be able to dump the ball for half the rotations and have 3 front row attackers to set the ball to on the other three rotations.

  3. The Purdue Spatial Visualization Test-Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) is a test of spatial visualization ability published by Roland B. Guay in 1977. [1] Many modifications of the test exist. The test consists of thirty questions of increasing difficulty, the standard time limit is 20 minutes.

    If r is the number of rounds and s is the number of rounds in which all tables arrow switch, the pairs who play as opponents in the rounds that are not arrow switched have a relative influence of (r-1) for the board group played head to head, -(r-1-2s) for board groups played in opposite direction at different tables, and 2s for rounds played ...

    For more general rotations, see Euler angles.) In the inertial frame of reference (upper part of the picture), the black ball moves in a straight line. However, the observer (red dot) who is standing in the rotating/non-inertial frame of reference (lower part of the picture) sees the object as following a curved path due to the Coriolis and ...

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. [6]

  7. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    The simplest form of the rotor constrains the disk to a plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation. This limits the rotor's response to lateral vibration only. If the disk is perfectly balanced (i.e., its geometric center and center of mass are coincident), then the rotor is analogous to a single-degree-of-freedom undamped oscillator under free ...

  8. Euler's rotation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_rotation_theorem

    A rotation matrix with determinant +1 is a proper rotation, and one with a negative determinant −1 is an improper rotation, that is a reflection combined with a proper rotation. It will now be shown that a proper rotation matrix R has at least one invariant vector n, i.e., Rn = n.

  9. Givens rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givens_rotation

    As rotations are applied just in the opposite order of the Euler angles table of rotations, this table is the same but swapping indexes 1 and 3 in the angles associated with the corresponding entry. An entry like zxy means to apply first the y rotation, then x , and finally z , in the basis axes.
