Answer

The two examples that show a body can have two or more types of motion (mixed motion) simultaneously are:

  1. The Earth rotates about its axis (rotatory motion) and at the same time, it revolves around the sun in a curved path (curvilinear or circular motion) in a fixed time interval (periodic motion).

  2. A ball rolling on the ground has rotatory and translatory motion as it moves on the ground.
