### Understanding Rotational Motion

The image illustrates the concept of rotational motion with a focus on the change that occurs when a force is applied to an object.

#### Description:

1. **Before:**
   - **Diagram:** On the left, there is a circular object (likely representing a wheel or disc) with a small red dot positioned at its edge. 
   - **Motion:** An arrow labeled "10 m/s" points toward the object, indicating the initial linear velocity of the dot in a straight path directed at the circle.

2. **After:**
   - **Diagram:** On the right, the same circular object now shows the red dot at the edge of the circle, but with an additional green curved arrow beside it.
   - **Motion:** The curved arrow indicates that the object is now rotating, suggesting the initial linear velocity has been converted into rotational motion. The arrowhead implies the direction of rotation.

This visual representation helps in understanding how linear motion applied at the edge of a circular object can result in rotational motion, showcasing the principles of dynamics and motion transformation in physical systems.
