🔍 Key Concepts

• Axes of motion on a vessel: longitudinal (bow to stern), transverse (side to side), and vertical (keel to mast). • The difference between rotational motions (angular movement) and linear motions (straight-line movement). • Standard names for ship motions: surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, yaw.

💭 Think About

• First, identify which axis is being described when the question says a horizontal line from bow to stern. Is that longitudinal, transverse, or vertical? • Next, decide whether the motion asked about is rotation around that axis or movement along it. • Then, match the type of motion (rotation vs straight-line movement) with the standard ship motion terms given in the choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which ship motion term corresponds to rotation about the longitudinal axis (bow–stern line). • Eliminate any options that describe motion along an axis rather than rotation around it. • Double-check that the term you pick is associated with being angled from side to side versus nodding bow up and down.
