Translational motion . . .
The object's center of mass winds up at a different location
compared to where it was when the motion began.
Rotational motion . . .
The location of the object's center of mass doesn't change, but
the object turns, spins, whirls, tumbles, or rotates around it.
What else can I help you with?
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?
If a magnetic dipole placed in a magnetic field exhibits both rotational and translational motion, it suggests that the magnetic field is not uniform. A non-uniform magnetic field will exert torque on the magnetic dipole, causing it to rotate, and may also impart a force causing translational motion. These observations can help characterize the spatial variation of the magnetic field.
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?
3 types of motion?
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.
Particles that make up matter are in what motion?
Particles that make up matter are in constant motion. This motion can be translational (moving from one place to another), vibrational (vibrating in place), or rotational (spinning around an axis). This motion is a result of the internal energy of the particles.
What effect would decreasing the temperature have on Brownian motion?
As temperature decreases, the energy of the molecules decreases. Since the energy of the molecules is stored in their translational, vibrational, and rotational motion, their overall motion will decrease and consequently the Brownian motion that results from their motion will diminish as well.
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 are the differences between rotational and translational motion?
Rotational motion involves an object spinning around an axis, while translational motion involves an object moving from one place to another in a straight line. Rotational motion is characterized by angular velocity and acceleration, while translational motion is characterized by linear velocity and acceleration.
Is the motion of a body along a curved path translational?
No, the motion of a body along a curved path is not translational, as translational motion refers to straight-line motion. The motion of a body along a curved path involves a combination of translational and rotational motion due to changes in direction.
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
What is the difference between oscillating and rotational motion?
Rotational motion is motion which emulates that of the minute hand of a clock. Oscillating motion is motion which emulates that of the pendulum.
When a skater glides across the ice on one skate what kind of motion does the skater have?
The skater would exhibit rotational motion as well as translational motion during the glide. Rotational motion is the spinning of the skater around their own axis, while translational motion is their movement across the ice in one direction.
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.
What type of motion is in spinning top?
The spinning top exhibits both rotational and translational motion. Rotational motion refers to the spinning motion around its axis, while translational motion refers to the movement of the top as a whole across a surface.
When you turn a screw it undergoes two kinds of motion at the same time identify them?
When you turn a screw, it undergoes both rotational and translational motion. Rotational motion refers to the spinning of the screw around its axis, while translational motion involves the movement of the screw along its axis as it moves into the material it is fastening.
Does the earth move in a rotational or translational motion?
The Earth moves in both rotational and translational motion. Rotation refers to its spinning around its axis, which causes day and night, while translation refers to its orbit around the sun, which takes about 365 days to complete.
What type of motion is there in a bouncing ball?
A bouncing ball undergoes a combination of translational and rotational motion. Translational motion refers to the ball moving from one location to another, while rotational motion involves the spinning or rotation of the ball as it bounces. These two types of motion work together to create the overall bouncing motion of the ball.
