What are two kinds of circular motion?
translational motion and rotational motion
Can we transform rotational and translational motion into electric current?
Yes, Electricity we use is actually generated by transformation of energy from translation and rotational motion. Turbines are used to transform translational motion of water or water vapors into rotational motion, that is then transferred to the generator, where the magnets are used to generate Alternating current.
What are examples of rigid bodies that exhibit translational motion rotational motion and combination of both?
Planets
Do the particles in solids move?
Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.
If a magnetic dipole is placed in a magnetic field the dipole is found to have both rotational and translational motion.what would you infer about the magnetic field?
Dipole not aligned with B field = rotational motion B field not constant along field direction = translational motion
Difference between rigid body and particle?
The key difference between a particle and a rigid body is that a particle can undergo only translational motion whereas a rigid body can undergo both translational and rotational motion
What is the difference between translational and rotational motion?
Translational motion . . .The object's center of mass winds up at a different locationcompared to where it was when the motion began.Rotational motion . . .The location of the object's center of mass doesn't change, butthe object turns, spins, whirls, tumbles, or rotates around it.
What is an object that is in motion and changes position?
If the object changes position it means it has translational motion. Other types of motion include rotational motion and vibrational motion. This would apply to thermodynamics, when we look at gas molecules. The key point to remember is that the centre of mass of the object has changed displacement coordinates, therefore it has undergone translational motion.
When applying a force to make an object move why is it most effective to have the applied force aimed directly at the objects center of mass?
The question is based on the false assumption that imparting a rotational motion on an object is not making it move.Applying the force which is not aimed directly at the centre of mass imparts a rotational as well as a translational motion. Why should this be considered any less than only rotational or only translational motion?
What are the kind of motion?
There are different kinds of motion that exist in physics. Some of them include linear motion, angular motion, rotary motion, constant motion and many more.
What is Rotational motion in physics?
there are three ways something can move: translational -- like my car going down the road vibrational -- like a slinky or spring rotational -- like a baton that twirls end over end. When studying rotational motion, certain additional vocabulary words become important: frequency, moment of inertia, etc.
How are the particles in a solid?
Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.
