Question

Types of motion with example

Open in App
Solution

Translatory motion
Rotatory motion
Vibratory motion
In transnational motion,a body moves along a line without any rotation.The line may be straight or curved.”Translatory motion is further divided into linear motion,circular motion and random motion.

Examples of translatory motion in daily life
Motion of train
motion of earth
motion of birds
motion of insects
motion of aeroplane
Linear motion
“Straight line motion of a body is known as its linear motion.”
The motion of objects such as car moving on a straight and level road is linear motion. Aeroplanes flying straight in air and objects failing vertically down are also the examples of linear motion.

Circular motion
“The motion of an object in a circular path is known as circular motion.”A toy train moving on a circular track.Earth revolving around the sun is the example of circular motion.
Random motion
“The disordered or irregular motion of a body is called random motion.”Motion of insects and birds is random motion.The motion of dust or smoke particles in the air is also random motion.

Rotatory motion definition
“The spinning motion of a body about its axis is called its rotatory motion.”
Examples of rotatory motion in daily life
The motion of the earth about its geographic axis that causes day and night is rotatory motion.
The motion of wheel about its axis and that of steering wheel are the examples of rotatory motion.
Vibratory motion
“The motion of a body about its mean position is known as vibratory motion.”
Motion of pendulum of a clock about its mean position,is also example of vibratory motion
