Questions and Answers

What type of linear motion has variable velocity?

Linear motion with constant velocity

Uniform linear motion

Non-uniform linear motion (correct)

Linear motion with zero acceleration

What is the mathematical description of the position of a particle in linear motion?

$x = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$x = vt$

$x = x_0 + vt$ (correct)

$x = x_0 + v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Study Notes

Linear Motion

Linear motion with variable velocity is called accelerated motion.
The mathematical description of the position of a particle in linear motion is given by the position-time graph.
According to Newton's first law of motion, objects that do not experience any net force will maintain their state of motion, i.e., remain in motion or at rest.
External forces like friction and gravity can cause an object to change the direction of its motion under everyday circumstances.
Another name for linear motion is rectilinear motion.
Linear motion is the most basic type of motion and is characterized by a one-dimensional nature along a straight line.

Key Concepts

Acceleration is a characteristic of linear motion with variable velocity.
Net force plays a crucial role in determining the motion of an object, as stated in Newton's first law of motion.
Position-time graph is a mathematical tool used to describe the position of a particle in linear motion.
