Translation vs Rotation vs General motion (Engineering Dynamics)

Check out https://www.engineer4free.com/dynamics for more free engineering dynamics tutorials. The course covers linear motion, projectile motion, circular motion, kinetics, work & energy, impulse & momentum, and rigid body rotation. This tutorial illustrates the differences between translation, rotation, and general motion in a 2D plane. During pure (linear or curvilinear) translation, all parts of the body will have the same velocity and acceleration at any given point in time. During pure rotation about a fixed axis, the principles of circular motion can be applied to determine the velocity and acceleration of any point on the object. To determine position, velocity, or acceleration of a body experiencing general motion, we have a few methods, and they will be covered in the next videos.
