It depends on what body part is moving - you will have to ask your question about a specific motion such as raising your arm or sitting down or whichever movement you are thinking of.

Active range of motion is when a joint is moved through its range with the person moving the joint him or herself. Passive range of motion is when something besides the muscles of the joint does the moving. So if I were to bend someone else's knee (and they didn't help) it would be passive range of motion. But if the person just moves his or her joint, then it is active.
Moving our arms in a circular motion is possible due to the structure and range of motion of our shoulder joints. The knee joint, however, is a hinge joint designed primarily for flexion and extension, limiting its ability to move in a circular motion. The ligaments and tendons surrounding the knee joint also restrict its range of motion compared to the shoulder joint.
Exercises that put each joint through its full arc of motion are called "full range of motion exercises" or "joint mobility exercises." These exercises help improve flexibility, mobility, and overall joint health by moving the joint through its complete range of movement.
You are most aware of motion in a moving vehicle when it is accelerating because you can feel the change in speed or direction. When the vehicle is moving steadily in a straight line, the sensation of motion may be less noticeable as there are fewer changes occurring.
2 dimensional motion refers to motion occurring in a plane, where an object can move horizontally and vertically. This type of motion can be described using both x and y coordinates to track the position of the object. Examples include objects moving in a projectile motion or in circular motion.
ROM is the shorthand way of saying Range of Motion. ROM usually means the movement one has in a joint, and is observed by moving the joint through the extremes of movement possible without causing pain. Massage and physical therapy, as well as some chiropractic procedures, can improve the range and strength of a joint.
Movement of a joint beyond the anatomical position is termed hyperextension. This occurs when a joint is extended beyond its normal range of motion, potentially leading to injury if done forcefully or repetitively. Hyperextension can be seen in joints like the knee or elbow when they are pushed past their straightened position.

Difficulty moving your knees in a circular motion could be due to limited range of motion in the joint, muscle tightness, injury, or joint issues like arthritis. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment or exercises to improve knee mobility.
The degree of motion at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint (e.g., the type of joint, presence of cartilage), the surrounding ligaments and tendons, and the range of muscle movement. Joint stability and flexibility also play a role in the degree of motion allowed at a joint.
