Concept:
The different types of motion are described in the below table.
|
Types of Motion |
Description |
Examples |
|
Linear |
It is a straight-line motion. |
A train running on a straight track, a parade of soldiers |
|
Vibrational |
It is the motion in which an object vibrates along an axis. |
The motion of strings while playing sitar, stretching a tight string. |
|
Circular |
It is the motion of a circular track by making a constant distance from the center. |
A ball tied with rope when rotated in the vertical or horizontal axis |
|
Rotational |
The motion of the body when it rotates around a fixed axis is called rotational motion |
The movement of a spin top is rotational motion |
|
Periodic |
The motion which repeats itself after a certain interval of time is called periodic motion. |
The motion of a pendulum, the motion of swings |
Explanation:
- When a tight string is stretched, we can see the string is moving up and down at a very fast speed.
- It may be so fast, we cannot predict the exact location of the string for a while.
- This type of phenomenon is called vibration and such motion is called vibrational motion.
- This can also be observed while playing the guitar.
- The guitar strings vibrate when pulled while playing it.
The correct option is vibrational.
