Notes   Types of motion: 1. Linear motion (translational motion) 2. Rotational motion (circular motion) 3. Oscillatory motion (Vibratory motion) Displacement: Distance moved by a body in a specified direction is called displacement. It is denoted by letter‘s’ and has both magnitude and direction. Distance is the movement from one point to another. The Si […]
