SUMMARY
A body moves in a straight line when the net force acting on it is zero, resulting in uniform motion according to Newton's First Law of Motion. This principle applies regardless of whether the body is in circular motion or linear motion. In circular motion, the presence of centripetal force alters the trajectory, preventing straight-line movement. Understanding these forces is crucial for analyzing motion dynamics in physics.
