Question

Boojho was riding on his bicycle along a straight road. He classified the motion of various parts of the bicycle as (i) rectilinear motion, (ii) circular motion and (iii) both rectilinear as well as circular motion. Can you list one part of the bicycle for each type of motion? Support your answer with reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(1) Rectilinear motion-handle bar or seat

(2) Circular motion- pedal

(3) Both Rectilinear as well as circular motion-wheel

Answer 2

1. Rectilinear Handles The handles do not move in circular or rotatory motion.

2. Circular Pedals The pedals are fixed to the chain and cannot move in any other direction except circular.

3. Both rectilinear and circular Wheels Wheels of a moving bicycle show rectilinear motion and circular motion. Because when the wheel is rotating, it also moves the bicycle forward.
