👉 pretranslation is a concept in physics and engineering that refers to a state of motion where an object is not fully at rest, but in motion before it reaches its final position. This concept arises from the idea that objects can be transformed or displaced by external forces (such as gravity) without changing their direction of motion. In physics, pretranslation can occur when an object is initially stationary and then experiences a force that causes it to move forward or backward, but not in the direction of its initial position
