Question

Classify the freely falling stone into translatory, rotatory, and oscillatory motion.

Answer 1

Translatory motion:

1. When an object (like a car or a scooter) moves in a line in such a way that every point of the object moves through the same distance in the same interval of time, the motion of the object is called translatory motion.
2. There are two kinds of translatory motion.
3. When an object moves along a straight line, its motion is called rectilinear motion.
4. For example, a ball rolling on the ground, a bus moving on a straight road, a stone falling freely from the roof of a building, a coin moving over a carrom board.

Hence it will come under the translatory motion.
