The heat capacity of a molecule depends on its translational, vibrational, rotational and electronic degrees of freedom.

In the case of systems having rotational degrees of freedom the Hamiltonian can be written in the form:

When wind was present, the pilot in training was able to use the control surfaces to move the simulator in the three rotational degrees of freedom.

Each rotational and translational degree of freedom will contribute R/2 in the total molar heat capacity of the gas.

The rotational degrees of freedom are the next to "unfreeze".

In addition, the molecule has two rotational degrees of motion and one vibrational mode.

In special cases, such as adsorbed large molecules, the rotational degrees of freedem can be limited to only one.

The number of rotational degrees of freedom comes from the dimension of the rotation group SO(n).

It is only appreciable if there are rotational degrees of freedom for the fluid particles.

Each module is a 0.65 kg cube with 100 mm long edges and one rotational degree of freedom.
