Question

What is the primary difference between translational and rotational motion of a rigid body?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

In translational motion, all particles move with the same linear velocity, while in rotational motion, particles move in circular paths with the same angular velocity about a fixed axis. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Translational motion involves all particles moving with the same velocity, while rotational motion involves the same angular velocity. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
