Question

What type of motions are exhibited by a vehicle and its wheel?

• A. Translatory
• B. Translatory and rotatory
• C. Rotatory
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Translatory and rotatory

The explanation for the correct option

1. Translatory motion is the motion in which all the points of a moving body move uniformly in the same direction.
2. Rotatory motion is the motion that occurs when a body rotates on its own axis.
3. The vehicle and its wheel show both rotatory and translational motion. The wheels show rotatory motion while the vehicle shows translational motion.
4. Thus the type of motions exhibited by a vehicle and its wheel is translatory and rotatory.

The explanation for the incorrect options

A. Translatory

1. Translatory motion is the motion in which all the points of a moving body move uniformly in the same direction.
2. Both rotatory and translational motion is shown by the vehicle and its wheel.

C. Rotatory

1. Rotatory motion is the motion that occurs when a body rotates on its own axis.
2. Both rotatory and translational motions are shown by the vehicle and its wheel.

Thus the type of motions exhibited by a vehicle and its wheel are translatory and rotatory. Hence, B is the correct option.
