Identify the motion of a bullet fired from a gun.

Understand the Problem

The question is asking us to identify the type of motion exhibited by a bullet when it is fired from a gun, which usually involves concepts of projectile motion and dynamics.

Answer

Rectilinear motion (translatory motion).

The motion of a bullet fired from a gun is a rectilinear motion, which is a type of translatory motion.

Answer for screen readers

The motion of a bullet fired from a gun is a rectilinear motion, which is a type of translatory motion.

More Information

Rectilinear motion refers to the movement of an object along a straight line, which is typical for bullets traveling at high speeds after being fired.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing rectilinear motion with projectile motion. Although a bullet may follow a slightly curved trajectory due to gravity, its initial motion when leaving the gun is rectilinear.
