So, a bicycle moving on a straight road has two types of motion rotational motion as well as rectilinear motion. This type of motion is also called rectilinear or linear motion. Uniform motion is motion at a constant speed in a straight line. The study of classical mechanics is quite expansive and includes the study of motion at the nanoscale and microscopic level (protein folding, enzymes) macroscopic level, all the way to the motion of aviation crafts, planets and … (4) Example of sewing machine – The swing machine has a wheel which rotates on an axle. In the above figure, different locations of the object during its Motion that changes the orientation of a body is called rotation. PROJECTILE MOTION We see one dimensional motion in previous topics. Examples (i) Motion of a vehicle on a straight line. Uniform motion can be described by a few simple equations. If the velocity is changing, either in direction or magnitude, it is called accelerated motion … Motion along a line or a curve is called translation. So, the wheel of a sewing machine shows rotational motion. In this type of motion gravity is the only factor acting on our objects. Motion, in physics, change with time of the position or orientation of a body. Now, we will try to explain motion in two dimensions that is exactly called “projectile motion”. Classical mechanics is the branch of physics that studies motion. Only one position co-ordinate is required to describe the position of the particle in this motion. Students will distinguish between and/or interpret the types of motion. The motion of a body is said to be in one dimension or one –dimensional motion if it moves along a straight line in any direction. We can have different types of projectile type. In both cases all points in the body have the same velocity and the same acceleration. For example, you throw the ball straight upward, or you kick a ball and give it a speed at an angle to the The distance s covered by a body moving with velocity v during a time t is given by s = vt.
