This applies equally to the Earth rotating around the axis of the Sun and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This view of Earth comes from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Terra satellite. In physics, the angular velocity is a vector quantity which specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating.
What sarin is. 1  Sarin is a human-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent. 2  Sarin originally was developed in 1938 in Germany as a pesticide. 3  Sarin is a clear, colorless, and tasteless liquid that has no odor in its pure form. 4  Sarin is also known as GB. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. 2  They are similar to certain kinds of insecticides (insect killers) called organophosphates in terms of how they work and what kind of harmful effects they cause.
Sarin can be lethal even at very low concentrations, with death following within 1 to 10 minutes after direct inhalation due to suffocation from lung muscle paralysis, unless some antidotes, typically atropine or biperiden and pralidoxime, are quickly administered.arin (the gas) is a chiral molecule because it has four chemically distinct substituents attached to the tetrahedral phosphorus center. The S P form (the (â) optical isomer) is the more active enantiomer due to its greater binding affinity to acetylcholinesterase.
