Types Of Motion
According to Directions One dimensional motion is the motion of a particle moving along a straight line. Two dimensional motion A particle moving along a curved path in a plane has 2-dimensional motion. Three dimensional motion Particle moving randomly in space has 3-dimensional motion. According to state of motion Uniform Motion A body is said to be in a state of uniform motion if it travels equal distances in equal intervals of time. If the time distance graph is a straight line the motion is said to be uniform motion. Non-uniform motion A body has a non-uniform motion if it travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time. Example. a freely falling body. Time - distance graph for a body with non-uniform motion is a curved line.
