Explain the types of motion with example

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Linear motion: An object is said to be in linear motion of it moves in a straight line.
Examples: An athlete running on a straight track
A particle falling vertically downwards to the Earth.
(b) Circular motion: Circular motion is defined as a motion described by an obiet traversing a circular path
Examples: The whirling motion of a stone attached to a string.
The motion of a satellite around the Earth.
These two circular motions are shown in figure.

(c) Rotational motion: If any object moves in a rotational motion about an axis, the motio is called .rotation. During rotation every point in the object transverses a circular path about an axis. (except the points located on the axis).
Examples:
otation of a disc about an axis through its center
Spinning of the Earth about its own axis.
These two rotational motions are shown in figure.

(d) Vibratory motion: If an object or particle executes a to and fro motion about a fixed point, it is said to be in vibratory motion. This is sometimes also called oscillatory motion.
Examples
Vibration of a string on a guitar
Movement of a swing
These motions are shown in figure

Other types of motion like elliptical motion and helical motion are also possible.
