Question

Write the difference between Translation and rotational motion of a rigid body.

Answer 1

Answer:

Translational Motion: Translational motion is motion that involves the sliding of an object in one or more of the three dimensions: x, y or z. ... Rotational Motion: Rotational motion is where an object spins around an internal axis in a continuous way. An ice-skater can do this by spinning on the spot.

Answer 2

Answer:

While the translational motion is described by the velocity and acceleration of the reference point, the rotational motion is characterized by the unique angular velocity and angular acceleration associated with the body. ... All lines on a rigid body have the same angular velocity and the same angular acceleration.
