('what' moves)
Kinetics - Correct Answer✅ The effect of forces on the body
('how' it moves)
Translation
(Translatory Motion) - Correct Answer✅ 1. Linear motion (straight
line/rectilinear, curved line/curvilinear)
2. All parts of the object move the same distance and direction at the same
time.
3. Named by the axis that it translates 'along,' or the plane that it translates
'in.'
Linear Motion (2 types) - Correct Answer✅ 1. Straight line (rectilinear)

surfaces
2. Ligamentous control
3. Muscle actions
