Types of Motion of a Body
Generally, the motion of a body can be of the following three types
(i) Rectilinear and Translatory Motion The motion in which a
a straight line, is called rectilinear motion. If a body (or a particle moves ah
particle) moves alone
straight line, then the motion is called translatory notion.
e.g. Motion of sliding body on an inclinedplane.
(i) Circular and Rotatory Motion The motion in which a particle moves alar
circular path, is called circular motion. e.g. A string whirled in a circular loop.
If a body rotates about a line (axis) passing through it then the motion is a:
rotatory motion or rotational motion. e.g. Fan moving in the house.
(ii) Oscillatory and Vibratory Motion The motion in which a body moves to ani
or back and forth repeatedly about a fixed point, is called oscillatory me
(the extent to which the body moves on either side of the fixed point is cal
amplitude). If in oscillatory motion, the amplitude is very small, then the nu
said to be vibratory motion.e.g. Simple pendulum.
