Some planets appear to move backwards due to their orbit size, but they actually move in the same direction. True retrograde motion occurs when small moons orbit planets in the opposite […]
Reciprocating motion moves in a straight line and can pump water, power machinery, and refrigerate food. Internal combustion engines use this motion to convert fuel into power. Other examples include steering systems, well pumps, and compressors. Diaphragm pumps use a solid seal to move fluids. Reciprocating motion refers to any movement that is repeated in […]

Thermal motion is the random motion of particles, which increases with temperature and is studied through thermodynamics. Atomic particles are always in motion above absolute zero, and their motion is governed by laws that mean it is always random and changing. Thermal motion refers to the random motions of molecules, atoms, electrons, or other subatomic […]
Range of motion refers to the extent to which a joint or group of muscles can be flexed or extended.
