🔍 Key Concepts

• The six basic motions of a ship: surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, yaw • Difference between longitudinal (fore-and-aft) and transverse (side-to-side) directions • Difference between horizontal motion along the water surface vs vertical motion up and down

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether "horizontal" means motion along the surface or up/down – what does horizontal usually mean in this context? • Next, separate the motions: which terms describe rotation (about an axis) and which describe straight-line movement? • Of the remaining straight-line motions, which one is side-to-side (transverse) rather than fore-and-aft (longitudinal)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are not picking a rotational motion (those are roll, pitch, yaw). • Confirm that transverse means side-to-side, not fore-and-aft. • Eliminate the term that describes vertical straight-line motion before choosing among the remaining horizontal motions.
