Exploring Types of Motion

What is motion?

• Motion is the color of an object in space.

• Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

• Motion is the speed of an object at rest.

• Motion is the force applied to an object.

Name the three types of motion.

• Linear motion, Rotational motion, Oscillatory motion

• Cyclic motion

• Periodic motion

• Translational motion

What type of motion is a car driving on a road?

• Oscillatory motion

• Rotational motion

• Periodic motion

• Translational motion (linear motion)

What type of motion occurs when an object moves in a circle?

• Translational motion

• Rotational motion

• Linear motion

• Circular motion

What is the difference between linear and rotational motion?

• Linear motion is straight-line movement, while rotational motion is movement around an axis.

• Linear motion involves circular paths, while rotational motion is linear.

• Linear motion is faster than rotational motion in all cases.

• Linear motion is movement around an axis, while rotational motion is straight-line movement.

Can you give an example of periodic motion?

• The swinging of a pendulum.

• The movement of a car in a straight line.

• The rotation of a wheel.

• The growth of a tree.

What type of motion does a swinging pendulum demonstrate?

• Random motion

• Linear motion

• Rotational motion

• Periodic motion

What is the term for motion that repeats at regular intervals?

• Linear motion

• Random motion

• Cyclic motion

• Periodic motion

How does gravity affect the motion of falling objects?

• Gravity has no effect on the speed of falling objects.

• Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate downward, increasing their speed until they reach terminal velocity.

• Falling objects move horizontally due to gravity.

• Gravity causes objects to float upwards.

What type of motion is exhibited by a spinning top?

• Oscillatory motion

• Translational motion

• Rotational motion

• Linear motion
