A turning ceiling fan exhibits rotary motion because it rotates around an axis.

Submit
3. Fill in the blanks.

Rotary motion is ___________.

Explanation

Rotary motion refers to the movement in a circle. Unlike back and forth motion along a straight line or movement in a straight line, rotary motion involves an object or body rotating or spinning around a fixed axis or point. This type of motion is commonly observed in various mechanical systems, such as wheels, gears, and turbines, where objects rotate continuously in circular paths.

Submit
4. Fill in the blank.
Oscillation is ___________.

Explanation

Oscillation refers to a repetitive back and forth motion about a pivot point. This type of motion is characterized by a continuous swinging or swinging-like movement that occurs in a regular pattern. It involves a movement that alternates between two extreme positions, with the object or system returning to its original position after completing one cycle. This motion can be observed in various phenomena, such as a pendulum swinging, a vibrating guitar string, or the movement of a swing.

5. Identify the cam used.

Explanation

There is a sudden drop in the follower. This is a unique feature of a snail cam.

Submit
6. Identify the motion conversion for the following video.

Explanation

The video demonstrates a conversion from rotary motion to reciprocating motion. This means that the initial motion in the video is circular or rotational, but it is then converted into a back-and-forth or linear motion.

Submit
7. There are 2 types of motion conversions in the following video. Identify them.

Explanation

First part of the video shows the flying birds. Its is a conversion of rotary motion (turning the crank to reciprocating motion (wings flap). The second part of the video shows the circling notes. (It is a conversion of rotary motion to rotary motion.

Submit
8. Based on the output movement. Identify the cam used.

Explanation
