Classify the following as motion along a straight line, circular or oscillatory motion: Motion of your hands while running.

While running, the motion of your hands includes two types: oscillatory and linear motion. The back-and-forth swinging of your arms is an oscillatory motion, similar to a pendulum’s repetitive movement. Simultaneously, your hands move in a straight line, aiding in your forward movement, which is linear motion. These combined motions help maintain balance, generate momentum, and assist in propelling your body forward while running.
