Solution
If a body exhibits more than one type of motion at the same time, then such a motion is called multiple motion.
Motion of the earth: The earth keeps on rotating on its axis as well as revolves around the sun in a curved (elliptical) path in a fixed time interval.
Drawing water from the well: In a well, the pulley on which the rope runs exhibits circular motion, and the bucket shows linear motion.
