Question

A coin moving over a carom board is an example of _________ motion.

Answer 1

1. A body is said to be in translatory motion if it moves in a line in such a way that its every part moves through the same distance in the same interval of time.
2. There are two types of translatory motion; rectilinear motion and curvilinear motion.
3. In rectilinear motion, the body moves along a straight line.
4. For example; an automobile moving on a straight road, an apple falling from a tree etc.
5. A coin when hit on a carom moves along a straight line in its motion thus its motion is rectilinear motion.

Thus, A coin moving over a carom board is an example of rectilinear motion.
