Dear Mr. (if I’m not mistaken) AntonioLao
In our particular case it doesn’t matter that the rotation does wobble to some extent because of the inhomogeneous mass distribution.
The final part of your answer is from school physics, as I recall, but the real question behind my question above is - why the earth started to revolve on its axis? Why the angular speed of the earth increased from initial velocity of zero up to the value it has presently? Don’t say that the initial velocity equaled to present one. It wouldn’t be the convincing explanation. What forced the Earth to start rotating? Don’t say that it happened because there wasn’t any frictional force to prevent its speeding up; it wouldn’t be as well a convincing explanation, because I can say for instance that absence of frictional force isn’t obstacle for its staying quiet.
So I assert that there must have been the real reason (the force) of impact, which made it rotate. Please remind me: don’t all planets do the same? And can we accept the rotating of planets as something generally peculiar to the whole universe, and that it demands explanation?
