What are types of motion?

Answer: The three categories of motion are as follows:

• Motion in a Line
• Rotational Motion
• Motion Oscillation

Motion in a Line

When moving in a straight line between two places, the particles can also take a curved path. According to the path of motion, linear motion is further split into the following categories:

• Rectilinear Motion: This kind of movement moves in a straight line.
• Motion that follows a curve is referred to as curvilinear motion.

Rotational Motion

• When a body rotates around its own axis, it creates a motion known as rotatory motion.

Motion Oscillation

• A body moving about its average position is known as oscillatory motion.
• The pendulum of a clock swings back and forth while circling its mean position.
