Question

which situation is the best example of translational motion?
o a ballerina standing on one foot
a leaf blowing across the field
a coin spinning on a desk
a car in a parking lot with its engine running

Explanation:

Translational motion is when an object moves from one place to another in a straight - line or curved path. A ballerina standing on one foot is stationary. A coin spinning on a desk has rotational motion. A car in a parking lot with its engine running is mostly stationary (assuming no significant movement). A leaf blowing across the field is moving from one location to another, which is translational motion.

Answer:

a leaf blowing across the field
