Answer 1

Answer:

The motion of an object is defined by its change in position and direction.

Explanation:

Motion is the action of changing location or position. Motion is usually brought about by an external force.

Kinematics is the study of motion  alone without regard to the forces or energies involved.

The various types of motion include:

Translational motion : This is motion that occurs along a straight line. For example, a car travelling on a straight road.

Rotational motion: this motion that occurs in a circular path. For example, movement of the earth round the sun.

Oscillatory  motion: this is a periodic or to and fro motion that occurs between two points. For example, a swing or a simple pendulum.

Random or zigzag motion: This is motion that occurs in no particular pattern or direction. for example, the movement of dust particles.
