Question

define rectilinear motion.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When we require only one co-ordinate axis along with time to describe the motion of a particle it is said to be in linear motion or rectilinear motion. Some examples of linear motion are a parade of soldiers, a train moving along a straight line and many more.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rectilinear motion is another name for straight-line motion. This type of motion describes the movement of a particle or a body. A body is said to experience rectilinear motion if any two particles of the body travel the same distance along two parallel straight lines.

Examples for Rectilinear Motion:-

Use of elevators in public places is an example of rectilinear motion. Gravitational forces acting on objects resulting in free fall is an example of rectilinear motion. Kids sliding down from a slide is a rectilinear motion. Motion of planes in the sky is a rectilinear motion.

There are three types of rectilinear motion and they are: Uniform rectilinear motion: When an object travels at a constant speed with zero acceleration it is known as uniform rectilinear motion.
