The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass.These axes need not be stationary.Consider,for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed ) horizontally at its rim to a massless stick,as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed ω,the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the z-axis,and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points P and Q).Both these motions have the same angular speed ω in this case
