3 types of motion

Answer 1

The three types of motion are uniform motion, variable motion, and periodic motion. Uniform motion is when the speed and direction stays the same. But in Periodic motion, the motion is repeated. But in contrast to all of them, Variable motion is when eventually the direction or the velocity (speed) change.

Alternatively, in physics there are only three types of motion when describing particles eg electrons, molecules, atoms etc:

• transitional motion that takes an object from one location to another;
• vibrational motion that takes the object backwards and forwards over the same relatively small distance;
• rotational motion where an object is spinning.

Most movement consists of a mixture of all three but the particles in a solid would have mainly vibrational motion where as gas particles would have them all.

Answer 2

In Physics, the first kind of motion is called the rotational motion. This rotation occurs around a fixed axis. Transitional motion, on the other hand, is the rotation that occurs along a linear axis. Lastly, the oscillatory motion is a repetitive type of motion and rises and falls between two locations.

Answer 3

Three types of motion of interest in thermodynamics are all related to the internal energy of molecules:

translational (movement of molecules from one place to another through space)

vibrational (oscillation of molecules in a molecular bond)

rotational (spinning of a the atoms in a molecules around an axis of the molecule)

Answer 4

The three types of motion are straight-line, circular, and vibrational.

Answer 5

relative motion, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

Answer 6

Three types of motion common to molecules are:

Translational

Vibrational

Rotational

Answer 7

rectilinear

curvilinear

rotational
