Types of MotionTypes of Motion
There are four categories of Motion:There are four categories of Motion:– Rectilinear MotionRectilinear Motion– Alternating MotionAlternating Motion– Circular MotionCircular Motion– Oscillatory MotionOscillatory Motion
Rectilinear MotionRectilinear Motion
Motion in a straight lineMotion in a straight line
Example:Example: Running or driving in one directionRunning or driving in one direction
Alternating MotionAlternating Motion
A rectilinear motion that occurs regularly in A rectilinear motion that occurs regularly in one direction and then the other one direction and then the other
Example:Example:
-Yo-yo-Yo-yo
-Electric -Electric knifeknife
Circular MotionCircular Motion

Force: the Trigger of MotionForce: the Trigger of Motion
Motion cannot spontaneously occur, it Motion cannot spontaneously occur, it requires a trigger.requires a trigger.
This trigger is described as a This trigger is described as a forceforce A A ForceForce is is any influence that causes a any influence that causes a
body to undergo a change in speed, body to undergo a change in speed, direction or shape.direction or shape.
Types of ForcesTypes of Forces
Gravitational Force:Gravitational Force: The force that pulls The force that pulls objects towards the centre of the earth. The objects towards the centre of the earth. The greater the mass of the object, the more greater the mass of the object, the more strongly it is pulledstrongly it is pulled
FrictionFriction: The force that slows down to : The force that slows down to bodies in contactbodies in contact
Type of Type of ForceForce DescriptionDescription DiagramDiagram ExampleExample
Flexion Flexion ForceForce
When a gymnast presses or pulls on the When a gymnast presses or pulls on the bar, her weight applies a flexion force. The bar, her weight applies a flexion force. The bar is likely to bend under the effect of the bar is likely to bend under the effect of the force.force.
Tension Tension ForceForce
When you pull an object in one direction to When you pull an object in one direction to move it, that is tension. A person pulling a move it, that is tension. A person pulling a rope, for instance, exerts tension on it.rope, for instance, exerts tension on it.
Compression Compression ForceForce
Compression is the opposite of tension. It Compression is the opposite of tension. It is a force applied to compress an object. is a force applied to compress an object. When you squeeze a sponge, for instance, When you squeeze a sponge, for instance, you exert compression force.you exert compression force.
Torsion Torsion ForceForce
When you screw on or unscrew a lid, you When you screw on or unscrew a lid, you apply a torsion force. The two objects, lid apply a torsion force. The two objects, lid and jar, turn in opposite directions.and jar, turn in opposite directions.
Shearing Shearing ForceForce
If you pull the corners of a metal sheet in If you pull the corners of a metal sheet in opposite directions, it is likely to break. It opposite directions, it is likely to break. It will shear or tearwill shear or tear
