An imaginary line generates axial symmetry between both sides of the building
Axial is an adjective that comes from the French language, although its etymological root is found in the Latin word axis . What is linked to an axis is described as axial.
The axis
There are several uses of the term axis . It can refer to the rod that acts as a support for a rotating element when it is in motion or to the bar that supports the wheel hubs of a vehicle.
In geometry , an axis is a fixed line around which a point, line, or surface can rotate to generate a line, surface, or solid, respectively. The symbolic base or the most important idea of something is also called axis.
axial movement
Returning to the notion of axial, its use depends on what definition of axis is considered. An axial movement , to mention one case, develops aligned to an axis. This is the displacement of a point or particle along the axis in question.
axial vector
An axial vector , on the other hand, is the physical magnitude that, when subjected to anomalous reflection, shows covariance properties. Covariance is also known as covariance , and is the absence of changes in an object after subjecting it to various transformations.
Among the most common cases of axial vector we can mention the magnetic field, the moment of force, the angular momentum and the angular velocity. They are generally defined by the vector product, a binary operation that relates two vectors in a three-dimensional space.
The module of the axial vector is the numerical value that its magnitude acquires. With respect to its direction, it indicates the axis of rotation. Its direction, on the other hand, corresponds to that of rotation using the so-called right-hand rule .
Axial symmetry
Axial symmetry (sometimes referred to as radial rotational symmetry , axisymmetry or simply reflection ), meanwhile, is the symmetry that exists around an axis. In other words, it is a point at which, after having subjected a system to translation operations (change of position in space) and rotation, it can be seen that all its half-planes measured from a given bisector have equal characteristics.
If we take a line, for example, we can say that axial symmetry is the movement after which one point A transforms into another (A») as long as the segment formed by both is perpendicular to the axis and that both are at the same distance from it. For this reason, the axis in question is considered the bisector of said segment.
Let's look at an everyday example: when we look in the mirror, we can say that the surface of the glass represents an imaginary line from which all the points of our body and their corresponding points in our reflection are equidistant. It is important to note that axial symmetry does not always require reflection from an object; On the contrary, there are various figures that can be divided into two using a line, so that the symmetry between them is appreciated.
The skull, rib cage, and spine are elements of the axial skeleton.
Axial skeleton
The axial skeleton is made up of the bones that are found in the central axis of the human body. It is made up of eighty bones and is added to the appendicular skeleton for the development of the complete skeleton .
Something primordial
Furthermore, it can be described as axial to what is primordial , essential or cardinal . For example: “Renegotiating the maturities of the external debt is essential for the country's economy,” “We have several problems in the company, but the essential thing is to obtain funds to pay suppliers so we can continue producing,” “The fight against Gender violence is an axial policy of our government.”
