The terms translation, rotation and vibration can be used to describe types of motion.

  • Translation refers to the movement of an atom, particle or object from one position to another. Example: Moving from one side of a room to the other would be translational movement.
  • Rotation refers to turning around, spinning. Example: A spinning top, or turning around is rotational movement
  • Vibration refers to the movement of an object rapidly moving from side to side. Example: Vibration of water in a glass when a truck thunders past or a dinosaur thumps by.

What is an non example of rotation?

An example of non-rotation would be a translation, where an object moves in a straight line without any rotation. Rotation involves spinning or turning an object around a fixed point, which is not present in a translation.

What are the differences between rotation and translation in terms of their effects on geometric shapes?

Rotation and translation are both transformations that can change the position of geometric shapes. Rotation involves turning a shape around a fixed point, while translation involves moving a shape without changing its orientation. Rotation changes the direction of a shape, while translation only shifts its position.
