direction Explanation: I would say "same plane but opposite direction" or "same plane but in reverse direction" When its about a rotation, we normally talk about "planes" and not "lines" to describe a movement. |

3 hrs confidence:
direction Explanation: La palabra "sentido" no tiene significado en inglés. Tomando en cuenta las propiedades de un vector, término matemático que tiene para español magnitud, sentido y dirección pero para inglés solo tiene magnitud y dirección. El Renacuajo se mueve en dos direcciones opuestas, es decir, para adelante y para atrás. La repuesta al término dirección y sentido sería "dirección". No hay otro movimiento asociado. |

sense and direction Explanation: The ST: 'Para conseguir que el Renacuajo se mueva hacia delante o hacia atrás, uno de los servos ha de girar en sentido horario y el otro en sentido antihorario, dado que los ejes están dispuestos en la misma *dirección* pero en *sentidos* opuestos.' would be translated as : 'In order to get the Renacuajo to move back and forth, one of the servos has to rotate clockwise and the other counterclockwise, provided that they are arranged with the axes in the same direction, but with opposite senses.' The phrase 'the axes in the same direction' means that the axes are parallel in 3D space, but probably not coincident; in this case, the axes are represented as vectors, as lugoben said, so they also have direction - and they both have the same direction. You could think of the axes as two fence posts, both vertical; the motion about one of the fence posts is clockwise, about the other it is counterclockwise. Then, think of a bicycle tire: the axis is the axle, and the wheel rotates about the axis/axle. The "sense" here refers to whether the rotation is clockwise or counterclockwise when you look at it from a specified observation point. (Looking at a rotating bicycle tire, if you look at it from one side, the rotation is clockwise; but if you move around to the other side of the wheel, the rotation is counterclockwise. People are often not careful in talking about rotational motion: strictly speaking, direction is a linear property; sense refers to whether rotational motion is clockwise or counterclockwise.
