linear motion

Linear motion refers to movement along a straight path. It occurs when an object travels from one point to another without changing direction. This motion can be at a constant speed or varying speed, and it can be described using parameters like distance, speed, and acceleration. For example, a car driving straight on a highway or a ball rolling straight down a slope exemplifies linear motion. Understanding this concept helps analyze the behavior of objects in motion, predict future positions, and calculate forces involved in movement.
