Following are different types of motion:

• Translatory Motion: In Translatory motion the particle moves from one point in space to another. This motion may be along a straight line or along a curved path.
• Rectilinear motion: Motion along a straight line is called rectilinear motion. Example: A car moving on a straight road
• Curvilinear motion: Motion along a curved path is called curvilinear motion. Example: A car negotiating a curve
• Rotatory Motion: In rotatory motion, the particles of the body describe concentric circles about the axis of motion

· Vibratory Motion: In vibratory motion the particles move to and from about a fixed point.
