Translational motion is the motion by which a body shifts from one point in space to another. So, in the 1st question, a leaf blowing over a field would be translational motion

harsha19111999 · Answer

Are there any other options for the 2nd question?

anonymous · Answer

C. 
  coordinate system   
   

 
 

  

  D. 
  reference point

@Harsha19111999

harsha19111999 · Answer

its called reference point as the position of the hot-air balloon is specified with respect to the hill

anonymous · Answer

what's that mean?

harsha19111999 · Answer

The question said that the balloon was crossing the top of the hill. So, the position of the balloon is compared to that of the hill

"Translational motion is movement of an object without a change in its orientation relative to a fixed point, as opposed to rotational motion, in which the object is turning about an axis." http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-translational-motion.htm Your answer for the first one would be a coin spinning on a desk.
