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
