Question

rectilinear motion examples

Answer 1

The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along the line can be described by its position x, which varies with t (time). Linear motion is sometimes called rectilinear motion. An example of linear motion is that of a ball thrown straight up and falling back straight down.
