Question

Name five different types of motion you know.

Answer 1

Some of the different types of motion are as follows:

1. Rectilinear motion: The motion of a body is along a straight line. The direction of motion is not changing with time. It is also known as linear motion.
2. Curvilinear motion: The motion of a body is along a curved path. The direction of motion is constantly changing in this motion.
3. Circular motion: The motion of a body is along a circular path.
4. Uniform motion: The body travels an equal distance in equal intervals of time.
5. Non-uniform motion: The body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time.
