10 Questions
What is linear motion?
Linear motion, also called rectilinear motion, is one-dimensional motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension.
What are the two types of linear motion?
The two types of linear motion are uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration), and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration).
What is Newton's first law of motion?
Newton's first law of motion states that objects that do not experience any net force will continue to move in a straight line with a constant velocity until they are subjected to a net force.
How can the motion of a particle along a line be described?
The motion of a particle along a line can be described by its position $x$, which varies with time $t$. This is represented by the equation $x = f(t)$.
Which type of linear motion has a constant velocity and zero acceleration?
Uniform linear motion
What can cause an object to change the direction of its motion?
Under everyday circumstances, external forces such as gravity and friction can cause an object to change the direction of its motion.
What is the mathematical representation for the position of a particle in linear motion?
x = vt
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to an object that does not experience any net force?
It continues to move in a straight line with a constant velocity
What can cause an object to change the direction of its motion in everyday circumstances?
