Question

If an object is travel in a straight line, it is said to be :

• A. Angular
• B. Rotatory
• C. Linear
• D. Curvi-linear

Hint:

Straight-line motion is called linear or rectilinear motion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Motion refers to the change in position of an object with time. When an object moves along a straight path, the motion is called linear motion or rectilinear motion. Different types of motion include:
• Linear motion -- movement along a straight line
• Rotatory motion -- movement around an axis
• Angular motion -- rotational movement through an angle
• Curvilinear motion -- movement along a curved path

Step 1: Identify the nature of the path.
The object is moving in a straight line.

Step 2: Determine the type of motion.
Motion along a straight line is known as: \[ \text{Linear motion} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(C)\ \text{Linear}} \]
