Question
Answer the following question in your own words.
Which types of motion are seen in birds flying in the sky?
Solution
Birds flying in the sky exhibit multiple types of motion:
- Linear Motion: When birds fly in a straight path, their movement is linear.
- Curvilinear Motion: When they change direction or fly in arcs, their motion follows a curved path, making it curvilinear.
- Random Motion: Birds sometimes move unpredictably while searching for food or avoiding obstacles, displaying random motion.
Thus, birds show a combination of linear, curvilinear, and random motion depending on their activity.
