    Study Notes

    Types of Motion

    1. Translational Motion

    • Motion in which an object moves from one point to another in a straight line or a curved path
    • Examples: rolling, sliding, walking, running
    • Can be described using displacement, velocity, and acceleration

    2. Rotational Motion

    • Motion in which an object rotates around a fixed axis
    • Examples: spinning top, wheel, Earth's rotation
    • Can be described using angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration

    3. Oscillatory Motion

    • Motion in which an object moves back and forth around a fixed point
    • Examples: pendulum, spring, vibrating string
    • Can be described using amplitude, frequency, and period

    4. Vibratory Motion

    • Motion in which an object oscillates about a fixed point
    • Examples: guitar string, drumhead, bridge
    • Can be described using amplitude, frequency, and period

    5. Circular Motion

    • Motion in which an object moves in a circular path around a fixed point
    • Examples: orbit of a planet, spinning wheel, merry-go-round
    • Can be described using circular velocity, angular velocity, and centripetal acceleration

    6. Periodic Motion

    • Motion that repeats itself at regular intervals
    • Examples: pendulum, circular motion, vibration
    • Can be described using period, frequency, and amplitude

    Types of Motion

    Translational Motion

    • Motion occurs in a straight line or a curved path
    • Examples: rolling, sliding, walking, running
    • Described by displacement, velocity, and acceleration

    Rotational Motion

    • Object rotates around a fixed axis
    • Examples: spinning top, wheel, Earth's rotation
    • Described by angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration

    Oscillatory Motion

    • Object moves back and forth around a fixed point
    • Examples: pendulum, spring, vibrating string
    • Described by amplitude, frequency, and period

    Vibratory Motion

    • Object oscillates about a fixed point
    • Examples: guitar string, drumhead, bridge
    • Described by amplitude, frequency, and period

    Circular Motion

    • Object moves in a circular path around a fixed point
    • Examples: orbit of a planet, spinning wheel, merry-go-round
    • Described by circular velocity, angular velocity, and centripetal acceleration

    Periodic Motion

    • Motion repeats itself at regular intervals
    • Examples: pendulum, circular motion, vibration
    • Described by period, frequency, and amplitude
