OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by pure rotation and pure transnational motion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pure rotation means only motion is rotatory, similarly translational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my intution says no just want to know wat other guys think about it,so that i can be sure about my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. As you have used to word pure. So, No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. when you mean pure translational, you mean that there is no rotation. so pure translational motion cannot exist with pure rotation. but there can exist rolling motion which is a combination of both rotational and translational.
