angular motion
Movement around axis
Angular motion is rotation around an axis or central point, as opposed to linear motion along a path.
A spinning top, a swinging pendulum, and a turning wheel all exhibit angular motion.
The term appears in physics and engineering contexts: The angular motion of the turbine blade was measured in radians per second.
