Question

Table for comparison of formula in translational and rotational motion

Answer 1

A torque is just a force that acts off-center and causes an object to spin. Practically every quantity in translational motion has a rotational equivalent. Instead of linear acceleration, we have rotational (or angular) acceleration. Instead of forces, we have torques.

Answer 2

Translational and Rotational Motion. Translational Motion. Translational motion is the motion by which a body shifts from one point in space to another. One example of translational motion is the the motion of a bullet fired from a gun. An object has a rectilinear motion when it moves along a straight line.
