(i) Oscillatory motion
While running, our hands move in back and forth direction and repeat its movement after some time. Hence it is an oscillatory motion.

(ii) Motion along the straight line-
A horse is pulling a cart on a straight road. Therefore it follows the motion along a straight line.

(iii) Circular motion-
Since the marry-go-round moves in a circular motion

(iv) Oscillatory motion-
The see-saw moves up and down continuously. It oscillates up-down.

(v) Oscillatory motion
(vi) Motion along a straight line-
The train is moving on a straight bridge. Therefore it follows the motion along the straight line.
