Turning one's head rapidly in such an environment causes a "tilt" to be sensed as one's inner ears move at different rotational rates.
This allows output voltage to increase without also increasing the rotational rate.
To control orientation, a few spacecraft use momentum wheels which spin to control rotational rates on the vehicle.
Changes in the rotational rate of the molecule lead to a far-infrared spectrum.
The extreme sensitivity means that theoretically a larger version could detect effects like minute changes in the rotational rate of the Earth.
Another aspect is the accurate control of the gyroscope's rotational rate.
Our instruments indicated its gravity at 0.11, no atmosphere, and its astonishingly fast rotational rate of 21 hours.
Most inertial systems use gyroscopes to measure rotational rates.
The very high rotational rates of neutron stars can also be explained in terms of angular momentum conservation.
From the late 17th century to the 19th century it was assumed that the Earth's daily rotational rate was constant.
