Question

select the correct answer.
what type of motion occurs when an object spins around an axis without altering its linear position?
a. linear motion
b. rotational motion
c. translational motion
d. vibrational motion

Explanation:

• Linear motion is movement along a straight line, changing linear position.
• Rotational motion is spinning around an internal axis while keeping linear position unchanged.
• Translational motion involves moving the entire object to a new linear position.
• Vibrational motion is back-and-forth movement, which changes position over time.

The question describes spinning around an axis without changing linear position, which matches rotational motion.

Answer:

B. rotational motion
