2-D Motion

2-D motion refers to movement occurring in two dimensions, like an object moving across a flat surface or through the air with both horizontal and vertical components. It involves analyzing how an object’s position changes over time in two directions simultaneously, such as left-right (x-axis) and up-down (y-axis). Examples include a ball thrown in the air or a car turning a corner. Understanding 2-D motion helps predict an object’s future location by considering factors like speed, direction, gravity, and initial velocity. It’s fundamental in physics for describing real-world movements that aren’t confined to a single straight line.
