Question

The travel of a train from one station to another is an example of translatory motion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Translational motion is the motion in which all points of a moving body move uniformly in the same line or direction. If an object is executing translational motion then there is no change in its orientation relative to a fixed point.
2. In this condition, a train moves from station A to station B, and back from station B to station A.
3. The distance between the two stations is constant, and from an outsider's point of view, the orientation of the train remains the same, as it does not deviate from its path. Its path remains, $A\underset{}{\to B\underset{}{\to }A}$. Thus, it fulfills all the criteria for a transitional motion and can be called one.

Therefore,

The travel of a train from one station to another is an example of translatory motion.

Hence, the statement is true.
