Question

Differentiate between Rotatory motion and oscillatory motion with examples. ​

Answer 1

Answer: Rotational motion is when something is moving in a circle - like if I took a ball on a string and swung it around my head. Oscillating motion is when something is going back and forth and back and forth. For the ball on a string example, the oscillating motion would be if you looked at the ball from the side.

Answer 2

Answer:

• If the body moves about a fixed axis without changing the radius of its motion, it is said to be rotatory motion. Examples: a spinning wheel.
• An oscillatory motion is a motion where a body moves between two extreme positions. When an oscillatory motion repeats itself in equal intervals of time it is called Periodic Motion. Examples of oscillatory motion pendulum, swings, object attached to a spring, etc.

Explanation:

Rotation motion: When a body spins on its own axis, it is said to be in rotatory motion.

Oscillatory motion: The motion of a body about its mean position is known as oscillatory motion.
