Question

What is motion with its types?

Answer 1

Motion:

1. Motion is defined as the change in position of an object with respect to its surroundings over a given time interval.
2. Motion can be seen in every aspect of our lives.
3. For example, if a boy is walking down the street from the school to home, we will refer to him as being in motion.

Motion is classified into the following types based on the nature of the movement:

1. Translational motion: It occurs when an object moves as a whole along a path in any of the three dimensions.
2. Rotational motion: It involves an object moving in a circular path around a fixed axis.
3. Periodic motion: It is defined as motion that repeats itself at regular intervals of time.
4. Simple Harmonic: This is a type of motion similar to that of a simple pendulum in which a restoring force acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion.
