What is Linear Motion?

Now, what is motion in a straight line? Objects move in motion, right? Those objects may move in 1 dimension, 2 dimensions or 3 dimensions. Today, we are going to discuss the motion of an object in 1 dimension. And that is the motion in a straight line. Motion in a straight line can also be called Linear Motion.

In Linear Motion, we will be talking about the position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration of an object.
Alright! Let’s start with Position.

The position of an object along a straight line can be uniquely identified by its distance from the origin. What does that mean? It means that the object only moves in one coordinate in the Cartesian plane which may go to the right or to the left of the 0.

The position of an object is relative to the reference frames. But what is a reference frame? A reference frame is an arbitrary set of axes from which the position and motion of an object are described. It means that it is where we base the motion of an object.

Take for example a rocket to be launched into outer space. Since the final destination of the rocket is in outer space, we can use the Earth as our reference frame. And from there, we can now calculate the position of the rocket with respect to Earth.

But not all reference frames are stationary in a linear motion. Sometimes, there are also moving reference frames that we can use in getting the position of an object in motion.

Enjoy this video about motion along a straight or in its other name which is the linear motion.
