Identify the wrong pair with respect to different motions and their examples. |
Periodic motion - Earth rotating on its axis Rectilinear motion - A stone thrown up in the air at an angle Rotational motion - Blades of a windmill Oscillatory motion - A boat tossing up and down a river |
Rectilinear motion - A stone thrown up in the air at an angle |
The correct answer is option 2. Rectilinear motion - A stone thrown up in the air at an angle. The wrong pair with respect to different motions and their examples is Rectilinear motion - A stone thrown up in the air at an angle. Rectilinear motion, also known as linear motion, refers to motion along a straight line, where an object moves in a straight path. When a stone is thrown up in the air at an angle, its motion is parabolic rather than strictly rectilinear. The stone follows a curved trajectory under the influence of gravity, so it is not a perfect example of rectilinear motion. The other pairs are correctly matched: Periodic motion - Earth rotating on its axis: Earth's rotation around its axis results in periodic motion, as it completes one full rotation approximately every 24 hours, leading to the alternation of day and night. Rotational motion - Blades of a windmill: The blades of a windmill rotate around a central axis, demonstrating rotational motion as they turn in response to wind energy. Oscillatory motion - A boat tossing up and down a river: When a boat moves up and down repeatedly due to the waves on a river, it exhibits oscillatory motion, with the boat's position varying periodically about a central point. |
