Understanding Motion

What is the basic definition of motion?

• A body moving back and forth

• A body remaining in the same position

• A body changing its position relative to a reference point

• A body rotating around a fixed point

Which type of motion involves movement along a straight line?

• Vibratory motion

• Rectilinear motion

• Random motion

• Curvilinear motion

What characterizes curvilinear motion?

• Back-and-forth movement

• Movement along a straight path

• Movement along a curved path without rotation

• Irregular movement in any direction

Which example best illustrates random motion?

• A car driving on a highway

• A wheel rotating

• A pendulum swinging

• Gas molecules moving in a container

What defines rotatory motion?

• Movement along a straight line

• Movement around a fixed point or axis

• Irregular movement in any direction

• Back-and-forth movement

Which of the following is an example of rotatory motion?

• A car moving on a road

• Gas molecules in a container

• A pendulum swinging

• A wheel spinning

What is vibratory motion?

• Movement along a curved path

• Irregular movement in any direction

• Movement around a fixed point

• Back-and-forth movement around a mean position

Which example best represents vibratory motion?

• A car driving on a highway

• A wheel rotating

• Gas molecules moving in a container

• A pendulum swinging

What are the three main types of motion discussed?

• Linear, Circular, and Vibratory

• Rectilinear, Curvilinear, and Random

• Translatory, Rotatory, and Vibratory

• Translatory, Rotatory, and Random

Which type of motion involves movement along the circumference of a circle?

• Vibratory motion

• Random motion

• Translatory motion

• Rotatory motion
