DIFFERENT TYPES

OF MOTION

Rotary Motion
Rotary motion is anything that moves
in a circle. This type of motion was
among the first discovered in ancient
times. Think of a spinning wheel on
which people spun wool. A car's engine
works the same way. Like linear
cylinders, rotary actuators are used
across a wide range of industries and
come in electric, pneumatic and
hydraulic
options.
Oscillating Motion
Something that oscillates moves back
and forth. Anything that repeats the
motion cycle after a certain period is
considered to be oscillating. This type of
motion is found everywhere in our
world: a sprinkler system, the pendulum
of a clock or even sound waves.
You may be
thinking that a
rotary actuator
functions as an
oscillating device,
and for that matter,
so does a linear one when it repeats a
continuous movement. When it comes to
actuators, linear and rotary can be
viewed as oscillating.

Circular motion
Is a movement of an object along the
circumference of a circle or rotation
along a circular path. It can be uniform,
with constant angular rate of rotation
and constant speed, or non-uniform with
a changing rate of rotation. The rotation
around a fixed axis of a three-
dimensional body
involves circular
motion of its parts.
The equations of
motion describe the
movement of the
center of mass of a body.
Projectile motion
Is a form of motion experienced by an
object or particle (a projectile) that is
projected near the Earth's surface and
moves along a curved path under the
action of gravity only (in particular, the
effects of air resistance are assumed to be
negligible). This curved path was shown
by Galileo to be a parabola. The study of
such motions is called ballistics, and
such a trajectory is a ballistic trajectory.
Vertical motion
Is referred as the movement of the
object against the gravitational pull. It is
the motion that is perpendicular to the
straight or flat surface. It can also be a
straight upward and downward motion
but the perfect vertical motion does not
usually pursue a straight line path.
The object in vertical motion has a
certain amount of
velocity in it
depending upon the
speed and position of
that object
A collision
is the event in which two or more bodies
exert forces on each other in about a
relatively short time. Although the most
common use of the word collision refers
to incidents in which two or more
objects collide with great force, the
scientific use of the term implies nothing
about the magnitude of the force.
