Motion Types

What is the difference between rectilinear and curvilinear motion?

• Rectilinear motion is faster than curvilinear motion.

• Rectilinear motion involves circular paths, while curvilinear motion involves straight paths.

• Rectilinear motion is only applicable to objects moving vertically.

• In rectilinear motion, the object moves in a straight line, whereas in curvilinear motion, the object moves along a curved path.

Explain the concept of periodic motion.

• Periodic motion is a type of motion that has no defined pattern.

• Periodic motion is a type of motion that only occurs once.

• Periodic motion is a type of motion that repeats at regular intervals. It can be described by parameters like amplitude, frequency, and period.

• Periodic motion is a type of motion that changes direction randomly.

Give an example of translational motion.

• A car moving along a road.

• A person jumping on a trampoline.

• A tree swaying in the wind.

• A boat sailing on a lake.

Describe the characteristics of oscillatory motion.

• Circular motion around a fixed point

• Linear motion without any deviation

• Repetitive back and forth movement around a central point or equilibrium position.

• Random movement with no pattern

How is rotary motion different from linear motion?

• Rotary motion involves circular movement around an axis, while linear motion involves movement in a straight line.

• Rotary motion does not involve any movement.

• Rotary motion is slower than linear motion.

• Rotary motion involves movement in a straight line, while linear motion involves circular movement around an axis.
