Question

what are the different types of motion

Answer 1

In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control.

Answer 2

There are four basic types of motion in mechanical systems:

Rotary motion is turning round in a circle, such as a wheel turning.

Linear motion is moving in a straight line, such as on a paper trimmer.

Reciprocating motion is moving backwards and forwards in a straight line, as in cutting with a saw.
