Give two examples each for linear, circular and oscillatory motion.
Linear motion examples: (1) A car moving on a straight road, (2) A ball rolling in a straight line on the ground.
Circular motion examples: (1) A merry-go-round rotating, (2) The hands of a clock moving.
Oscillatory motion examples: (1) A swing moving to and fro, (2) A pendulum of a clock swinging.
Explanation
The chapter defines linear motion on Page 13 as motion along a straight line, circular motion on Page 14 as motion along a circular path, and oscillatory motion on Page 15 as motion to and fro about a fixed position. The activities 5.3 to 5.6 demonstrate these different types of motion.
Solution Steps
Linear motion examples include a car moving on a straight road and a ball rolling in a straight line.
Circular motion examples include a merry-go-round rotating and the hands of a clock moving.
Oscillatory motion examples include a swing moving to and fro and a pendulum of a clock swinging.
