Question

Curvilinear motion definition with examples

Answer 1

The motion of an object moving in a curved path is called curvilinear motion. Example: A stone thrown into the air at an angle.

Curvilinear motion describes the motion of a moving particle that conforms to a known or fixed curve. The study of such motion involves the use of two co-ordinate systems, the first being planar motion and the latter being cylindrical motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Curvilinear motion is defined as motion that occurs when a particle travels along a curved path. The curved path can be in two dimensions (in a plane), or in three dimensions. This type of motion is more complex than rectilinear (straight-line) motion.
