Study Notes
Motion Types and Definitions
- Translatory Motion: All points of a moving body travel uniformly along the same straight line.
- Example: A train moving along a straight track demonstrates translatory motion, as every part of the train follows the same linear path.
Linear Motion
- Defined as the motion of a body along a straight line.
- Example: A bus traveling in a straight line on the road is an instance of linear motion.
Circular Motion
- Refers to the motion of a body along a circular path.
- Example: An artificial satellite orbiting the Earth exhibits circular motion, as it travels in a curved trajectory around a central body.
Random Motion
- Characterized by unpredictable trajectories where an object changes direction frequently.
- Example: The erratic movements of insects and birds, such as flies, typify random motion due to their sudden directional changes.
