Mechanics: bearing vs bushing

Self-tutoring about mechanics: the tutor compares bearings and bushings.

Bearings and bushings are both found where there is relative movement between two parts. The difference is that bearings allow the motion by rolling (ball or pin bearings, typically), while bushings allow it by rubbing. That’s how I understand it, anyway.
