(example: pushing a slider-crank back and forth, such as the piston in an internal combustion engine) • Rotary motion – circular motion (example: the hands of a clock moving, or a wheel on an axle) • Oscillating motion – circular or arc-motion back and forth (example: the swing of a pendulum or the turning and release of a doorknob)
