Types of motion

What do you mean by Motion?
In physics, motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time.Motion is described in terms of velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time.

There are three types of motion:
1.Translatory motion
2.Rotational motion
3.Vibratory motion.

Translatory motion results in the change in location along some path such as moving of car down the highway.Rotational motion is the motion around an axis such as the rotation of the Earth.Vibratory motion is moving of an object back and forth such as moving of a pendulum.
