Is the movement of a car a translational phenomenon, true or false?
1 Answers
Wheels exhibit rotational motion, while the car body demonstrates translational motion. Below is relevant information: 1. Translation: When a car moves on the road, it is correct to say that the car is driving on the road, with the wheels showing rotational motion and the car body exhibiting translational motion. Translation refers to moving a figure in a plane along a certain direction by a certain distance, such movement is called translation, which does not change the shape or size of the object. 2. Translation does not alter size: After translation, corresponding line segments are parallel (or collinear) and equal in length, corresponding angles are equal, and the line segments connecting corresponding points are parallel and equal; translation transformation does not change the shape, size, or direction of the figure.
