Question

A translation of a rigid body is equivalent to a rotation about an infinitely distant axis. True O False

Answer 1

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer for the given statement is TRUE

A translation motion is the motion of the body in which the object move from one point to another.

In transnational motion ω = 0

A rotational motion is one in which body rotates about its axis and have angular momentum.

we know v = r ω

ω = v/r

when r = ∞ ω = 0

hence, the statement is True.
