Question

Two types of translatory motion are_____and______.

• A. Rectilinear motion
• B. Curvilinear motion

Answer 1

Translatory motion: When all the points of a body move in the same direction and cover an equal distance, then the motion of the body is called translational motion.

It is of two types:

1. Rectilinear motion: The motion of anybody on the straight-line path is called rectilinear motion.
2. Curvilinear motion: The motion of anybody on a curved path is called curvilinear motion.

Hence, two types of translatory motion are rectilinear motion and curvilinear motion.
