Question

What type of motion does a potter's wheel have?

• A. Oscillatory
• B. Circulatory
• C. Random
• D. Translatory

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Circulatory

Option A) Oscillatory motion is a kind of motion that is to-fro like that of a pendulum. Hence this cannot be chosen as the right option.

Option B) In circulatory motion an object moves around an axis in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction which looks like a circular path. The potter's wheel moves exactly like this.

Option C) Random motion is a movement that does not follow any particular direction of motion. hence this cannot be the right option.

Option D) Translatory motion happens when an object moves in a straight line, this is not happening in this case hence this also cannot be the right option.

Hence, option B is correct.
