ROTATIONAL MOTION

What is the motion of a top spinning on a surface?

• Pure translation
• Linear motion
• Rotation about a fixed axis
• Rotation about a fixed point

How does the axis of rotation behave in a ceiling fan?

• It oscillates horizontally
• It moves in a circle
• It shifts vertically
• It remains fixed in space

What type of motion occurs when a rigid body is pivoted at a point?

• Pure translation
• Vibration
• Rotation
• Linear oscillation

What is true about the pivot point O in an oscillating fan?

• It moves up and down
• It rotates independently
• It disappears periodically
• It remains stationary

What characterizes the motion of an oscillating table fan?

• No motion occurs
• It only translates
• Rotation about a fixed axis
• Rotation about a moving axis through a fixed point
