Wired Faculty App

Differentiate between Linear and Angular Motion?

Solution

Motions (momentum) means a change of position of a body and consists of the upsetting the equilibrium of a body.

Linear Motion	Angular Motion
When a body moves in a straight line, from one point to another in the same direction, is called linear motion.	When a body rotates and it turns about an axis, this rotation of the body is called angular motion.
Linear motion is measured in feet, meters, k.m. etc	Angular motion measured in Degrees.
Linear motion is of two types: Curvy linear motion: It is used when the body travels on a curved path. Rotary Motion: Rotary is the movement which occurs when the axis of the body fixed, causing it to move around the particular point when the force is applied to it.	Angular motion is of two types: Visible axis: It is that type which can see for ex.- the hand of a clock. Invisible: An imaginary axis is that which can not be seen. The axis is the centre of gravity of the body.
