Pick out the examples of translatory motion from the following.

• A.
  Movement of bicycle on the road.
• B.
  Bicycle taking a turn on the road.
• C.
  Motion of Earth around its own axis.
• D.
  Motion of an arrow from the bow.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A
Movement of bicycle on the road.
B
Bicycle taking a turn on the road.
D

Motion of an arrow from the bow.
If all parts of a moving body move in the direction of motion, then the motion is said to translatory motion.
Movement of bicycle on the road, bicycle taking a turn on the road and motion of an arrow from the bow are all the examples of the translatory motion because they are either moving in a straight line or in a curved path. But the motion of Earth around its own axis is an example of rotatory motion.
