Forms of Motion Flashcards
The 3 forms of motion are: translation, _______ and general motion
rotation
Translation involves ______ motion and occurs when a body moves so that all parts of it travel exactly the same distance, in the same ______ and in the same time
- linear
- direction
The three types of translation include rectilinear (straight-line), ___________ (____ line) and non-linear motion
- curvilinear
- curved
Rotation involves the movement of the body along a _______ path about a line in space so that all parts of the body travel through the same _____, in the same direction and in the same time
- circular
- angle
Rotation can be about both an _________ and an ________ axis
- internal
- external
____________ is a combo of both linear and angular motion (general in planar and space motion)
-General motion
A ______ is defined by a body or group of bodies whose motion is being examined
-system
Motion is explained relative to a _________ —- ———————, which helps to prevent ambiguity
-frame of reference
Measuring motion is needed for both ___________ and to measure performance
-standardisation
________________ describes motion, which kinetics explains _____ a body moves the way it does and the _____ of the movement
- kinematics
- why
- cause
Quantities of measurement are both _________, which describes only the magnitude of a motion and _________ which has magnitude and direction
- scalar
- vector
describing linear motion of the body (just translation, not the mass or forces acting on it) is called _________
-linear kinematics
The actual change in position of something is the _________ __________
-linear distance
Linear ________ is the change in position , and separation of 2 points based on both the distance and the direction travelled
-displacement
the rate of covering a distance is _________ ________
-linear speed
