Define: Rotation.

• Object spinning around an axis.

• Object moving from one place to another

• Object changing its size and shape.

• Object changing its size only.

Define: Translation.

• Object spinning around an axis.

• Object moving from one place to another

• Object changing its size and shape.

• Object changing its size only.

Identify the type or types of motion in the image

• Rotation

• Translation

Select true or false:

Complex mechanical function is defined as "the role played by a set of components in transfering motion inside a technical object"

• True

• False

Define: System

• A set of components that share the same function

• Transmitting motion from one part to another without modifying the nature of the motion.

• Relaying motion from one part to another while at the same time, modifying the nature of the motion.

Define: Motion transmission.

• A set of components that share the same function

• Transmitting motion from one part to another without modifying the nature of the motion.

• Relaying motion from one part to another while at the same time, modifying the nature of the motion.

Define: Motion transformation.

• A set of components that share the same function

• Transmitting motion from one part to another without modifying the nature of the motion.

• Relaying motion from one part to another while at the same time, modifying the nature of the motion.
