Motion Types Quiz

What is the type of motion when an object moves along a straight line?

• Linear motion

• Angular motion

• Circular motion

• Curved motion

Which type of motion occurs when an object moves in a circular path?

• Linear motion

• Rotational motion

• Oscillatory motion

• Translational motion

Define rectilinear motion.

• Motion along a straight line.

• Motion in a curved line

• Motion in a circular path

• Motion in a zigzag pattern

Explain periodic motion with an example.

• An example of periodic motion is a straight line

• Periodic motion occurs randomly

• Periodic motion is a type of motion that repeats at regular intervals. An example of this is the swinging of a pendulum.

• Periodic motion is a type of motion that never repeats

What is vibratory motion?

• Vibratory motion is a type of motion characterized by constant speed.

• Vibratory motion is a type of motion characterized by linear movement only.

• Vibratory motion is a type of motion characterized by periodic oscillations around an equilibrium point.

• Vibratory motion is a type of motion characterized by irregular patterns.

Describe the motion of a swing as an example of periodic motion.

• The swing moves in a straight line without any change in direction

• The swing moves back and forth in a regular and repeating pattern due to the force of gravity and the initial push, exhibiting periodic motion.

• The swing moves in a circular path around the support beam

• The swing moves randomly without any pattern

Differentiate between rectilinear and curvilinear motion.

• Rectilinear motion is motion along a curved path.

• Rectilinear motion is motion in a circular pattern.

• Curvilinear motion is motion along a straight line.

• Rectilinear motion is motion along a straight line, while curvilinear motion is motion along a curved path.

Give an example of oscillatory motion.

• Linear motion

• Vibrating phone

• Swinging pendulum

• Rotating fan

How is rotary motion different from translatory motion?

• Rotary motion involves back and forth movement, while translatory motion involves continuous circular motion.

• Rotary motion involves linear movement, while translatory motion involves circular motion.

• Rotary motion involves rotation around an axis, while translatory motion involves movement from one place to another.

• Rotary motion involves movement from one place to another, while translatory motion involves rotation around an axis.

Explain the motion of a pendulum as an example of oscillatory motion.

• The motion of a pendulum is an example of oscillatory motion because it remains stationary at all times.

• The motion of a pendulum is an example of oscillatory motion because it moves in a straight line without changing direction.

• The motion of a pendulum is an example of oscillatory motion because it swings back and forth around a fixed point, continuously changing direction due to the force of gravity.

• The motion of a pendulum is an example of oscillatory motion because it rotates in a circular path.
