Types of Translational Motion
Difference Between Translational and Rotational Motion
Examples
A train moving on its trackA man walking down a pathBirds flying in the skyA boat sailing down a river
2. Curvilinear motion
In a curvilinear motion, the motion of an object is in a curve path whose trajectory follows the laws of motion. It can occur in two or three dimensions.
A projectile passing through the airA bullet fired from a gunA racing car around a bendA stone undergoing a slingshot
The table below compares the physical quantities associated with translational and rotational motions.
