what is rectilinear motion?
Straight line motion.acceler8 said:what is rectilinear motion?
Rectilinear motion is a type of motion where an object moves along a straight line.
Some examples of rectilinear motion include a car driving down a straight road, a ball rolling down a ramp, and a plane flying in a straight line.
Rectilinear motion involves an object moving along a straight line, while curvilinear motion involves an object moving along a curved path.
Rectilinear motion and linear motion are often used interchangeably, but technically, linear motion refers to any motion along a line, while rectilinear motion specifically refers to motion along a straight line.
Yes, an object can have both rectilinear and curvilinear motion. For example, a car driving on a winding road would have both types of motion as it moves forward along the road.
