Given the following situations, determine whether the object analyzed should be considered as
particle or rigid body (first column) and the corresponding kind of motion it exhibited (second
column). The kind of motion can be for particles: rectilinear translation, circular motion, projectile
motion and for rigid bodies: rectilinear translation, curvilinear translation, fixed axis rotation,
general plane motion.
