What are the motions of a car?

Car motion includes both rotation and translation. Here are the specific details: Definition of rotation: An object moves in a circular path around a point or axis, such as the Earth rotating on its axis while also revolving around the Sun. This corresponds to the rotation of a vehicle's wheels. Definition of translation: Within the same plane, when all points of a figure move the same distance in a straight-line direction, this movement is called translation. This corresponds to the physical phenomenon of a vehicle's body moving forward. Basic forms of mechanical motion: One of the most fundamental forms of mechanical motion is rotation. In a rotating object, all points except those on the axis of rotation move in circular paths of varying sizes around the same axis. This is called "rotation." The trajectories of all points on the rotating object are concentric circles centered on the axis. At any given moment, the linear velocity and linear acceleration of different points on the rotating object vary. Points closer to the axis have smaller linear velocity and linear acceleration, but the same angular velocity and angular acceleration. When a rigid body rotates around a fixed point, it is called "fixed-point rotation," such as the motion of a gyroscope's rotor. Sometimes, when a point moves in a circular path around another fixed point, it is also called "rotation of the point around the center," such as the motion of planets around stars or electrons around atomic nuclei.
