which are the three type of motion?explain.
There are four basic types of motion in mechanical systems:

    Rotary motion is turning round in a circle, such as a wheel turning.
    Linear motion is moving in a straight line, such as on a paper trimmer.
    Reciprocating motion is moving backwards and forwards in a straight line, as in cutting with a saw.
    Oscillating motion is swinging from side to side, like a pendulum in a clock.
