Types of Motion
Motion
• Motion describes how objects move or change position
• There are four different types of motion: rotary, linear, reciprocating, and oscillating
Rotary Motion
• Rotary motion means turning around an axis or centre point
• The most common form of rotary motion would be the wheel
• Other examples include gears, pulleys,
• Can you think of any others?
Linear Motion
• Linear motion means movement in a single direction at one time such as up or down
• Some examples of linear motion include forklifts and bulldozers
• Can you think of any others?
Reciprocating Motion
• Reciprocating Motion refers to continuous, alternating, back and forth or up and down movement
• An example of reciprocating motion is a jackhammer
• Can you think of any others?
Oscillating Motion
• Oscillating motion refers to moving back and forth like a pendulum (a swinging motion)
• An example of oscillating motion is the bucket on a backhoe. It swings back and forth while working
• A backhoe is also an example of linear motion because it moves up and down
• Can you think of any more examples?
