Factor?

[edit]

What's the Factor column then? And why is it based upon the LP?! I'm sure it's obvious, but I can't see it. Robert Crowdy 17:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert, Factor is the scientific notation of the rad/s value, so for example the ×103 section contains all rad/s from 1000 to 9999.
An LP record, at 3.49 rad/s falls into the 1.0 to 9.9 range (×100, or 1), other than that there's no special meaning! Marasmusine 18:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted, I've fixed the link, thanks. MarašmusïneTalk 07:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Molecules

[edit]

Molecules can spin very fast, Gigahertz to Terahertz kind of rates, should we include these? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:29, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
