Meaning of the curvilinear motion?
when a body moves along a curved line , the motion described by the body is called curvilinear motion
What is the difference between linear motion and random motion?
Linear Motion is motion of object/body along a straight line.Random Motion is the motion of an object/body along a disordered or irregular line.
How do riders in a ferris wheel possess translatory motion but not rotatory motion?
Riders in a ferris wheel possess translatory motion because they are not rotating about their axis and are moving in a curved line without rotation (circular motion)
What is a motion of body along a path around some point in space?
revolution
Can we curve light?
Very good question. To make a body to move along a curved path it has to be massive. But photon, the quantum of light, is having zero rest mass and even in motion negligible mass. If the particle is charged one, it can be driven along a curved path as in the case of charged particle in a magnetic field. But photon is charge less. But light can be bent. As light falls on a glass prism, then the out coming light is found to be deviated towards the base of the prism. By using the phenomenon of total internal reflection, light is easily taken through the optical fibres now a days. Light can be assumed to be along a curved path as if we see that light passes through curved optical fibre. But the reality is not so. With the idea of gravitational lens, of course, light can go along a curved path.

What is translational energy?
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion.Translation kinetic energy is energy due to motion along a path (as opposed to rotational kinetic energy, which energy do the motion created when an object rotates, or changes its orientation in space.)
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 linear motion and random motion?
Linear Motion is motion of object/body along a straight line.Random Motion is the motion of an object/body along a disordered or irregular line.
What is the definition of Centripetel motion?
a force that makes a body follow a curved path

Riders in a ferris wheel possess translatory motion because they are not rotating about their axis and are moving in a curved line without rotation (circular motion)
A large body of water along a curved coast line?
a Gulf.
Three ways to describe motion?
1. Translatory motion:Translatory motion is that in which all the particles of a body move through the same distance in the same time.When a body moves along a straight line, it is called Rectilinear motion.When a body moves along a curved line, it is called Curvinlinear motion.2. Rotatory motion:Rotatory motion is that in which a body moves about a fixed axis without changing its position.3. Oscillatory motion:Oscillatory motion is that in which a body moves to and fro about its mean position.4. Periodic motion:Periodic motion is that which repeats itself after regular intervals of time.5. Repetitive motion:Repetiive motion is that which occurs again and again.
What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?
A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.
What is motion of a body along a path around a point in space?
