Editing Motion (section)

== Types of motion ==
* [[Simple harmonic motion]] – motion in which the body oscillates in such a way that the restoring force acting on it is directly proportional to the body's displacement. Mathematically Force is directly proportional to the negative of displacement. Negative sign signifies the restoring nature of the force. (e.g., that of a [[pendulum]]).
* [[Linear motion]] – motion that follows a straight [[Line (geometry)|linear]] path, and whose [[displacement (vector)|displacement]] is exactly the same as its [[trajectory]]. [Also known as [[rectilinear motion]]]
* [[Reciprocating motion|Reciprocal motion]]
* [[Brownian motion]] – the random movement of very small particles
* [[Circular motion]]
* [[Rotational motion|Rotatory motion]] – a motion about a fixed point. (e.g. [[Ferris wheel]]).
* [[Curvilinear motion]] – It is defined as the motion along a curved path that may be planar or in three dimensions.
* [[Rolling]] motion – (as of the wheel of a bicycle)
* [[Oscillatory]] – (swinging from side to side)
* [[Vibration|Vibratory motion]]
* Combination (or simultaneous) motions – Combination of two or more above listed motions
* [[Projectile motion]] – uniform horizontal motion + vertical accelerated motion
