Study Notes
Linear Motion
- Linear motion is a type of motion that occurs when an object moves in a straight line.
Types of Linear Motion
- Uniform linear motion is a type of motion where an object moves with a constant velocity.
Newton's First Law of Motion
- According to Newton's first law of motion, objects that do not experience any net force will maintain their state of motion, meaning they will remain at rest or continue moving with a constant velocity.
Change in Direction of Motion
- External forces can cause a change in the direction of an object's motion when the force is applied at an angle to the object's motion.
Describing Motion
- The motion of a particle along a line is described by its position, velocity, and acceleration.
