their respective correct circles. Then, write their similarities in your own words. Linear displacement Linear velocity Linear acceleration The entire body always changes location An accelerating dog Angular displacement Angular velocity Angular acceleration Spinning washing machine The Earth spinning about its axis All points have the same displacement. All points travel in the same direction. All points travel with the same velocity. All points travel with the same acceleration. The points have varying linear displacement. The points travel with varying direction. The points travel with varying linear velocity. The points travel with varying acceleration. Seneral Science Quarter 1 Translational Rotational Both
Answer (1)
Linear (Translational)Body changes position entirelyAll parts move in the same directionSame displacement and velocityExample: A dog running in a straight lineRotationalObject rotates around a fixed axisPoints move in a circular pathDifferent displacements and velocitiesExample: Washing machine spinningBothObjects that move and rotate simultaneouslyEarth orbiting and spinning on its axisSpinning top thrown across a tableExample: Biking (wheels rotate, rider moves forward)Summary:Translational = movement in straight or curved pathRotational = movement around a center pointSome systems (like the Earth) show both types at the same time.
