Question

A car moving on a straight road is an example of which type of motion

Answer 1

this is an example of translational motion

Answer 2

Answer:

A car moving on a straight road is an example of rectilinear motion.

Explanation:

When an object follows a straight path, then its motion is considered rectilinear. In rectilinear motion, each constituting particle of the object has the same path. Since the given example says the car is moving on a straight road which means it follows a straight path and hence, it is an example of rectilinear motion. The rectilinear motion a type of translation motion. Translation motion is a type of motion of a body in which the path of each constituting particle of the body has the same irrespective the type of path whether it is curved or straight.
