Question

Translational motion can also be known as:
(A). Circular motion
(B). Rotational motion
(C). Linear motion
(D). Turning motion

Answer 1

- Hint: It is a type of motion in which all parts of the body move the same distance in a given time is known as translator motion.

Complete step-by-step solution -

When a force acts as a stationary rigid body which is free to move, the body starts moving in a straight path in the direction of force. This is known as linear or translational motion.
For Example: Let’s imagine a rectangular block placed on the slanting edge of a right – angled triangle. If the block is assumed to slide down this edge without any side movement, every point in the rectangular block experiences the same displacement and more importantly, the distance between the points is also maintained . In pure translational motion, every point in the body experiences the same velocity be it at any instant of time.

Note: In such questions the basic concept is very necessary like translational motion is motion that involves the sliding of an object in one or more of the three dimensions : x, y, z . But an object can still be moving even when it’s just sitting at a particular x-, y-, and z- coordinate , it can still spin.
