Abstract
The analysed system has three degrees of freedom in a plane: translation motion in the direction of wave propagation, oscillatory motion in the direction orthogonal to the direction of wave propagation, and the rotation motion. The dynamical parameters of the system are approximated for steady state motions. It is shown that the particle can be translated by the velocity much lower that the velocity of wave propagation. At the same time it can experience high angular frequency rotation motion. The condition of existence of such type of regime of motion is determined. Such modes of motion can exist in gaseous of liquid environment whenever an unbalanced particle is subjected to propagating longitudinal waves
