RECTILINEAR MOTION

Presented by: Cloudine Robin

 OBJECTIVES
understand the concept of relative motion .
know the distinction between distance and
displacement.
understand the concepts of average velocity and
average speed.
be able to solve simple velocity or speed
problems.
RECTILINEAR 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.
RECTILINEAR MOTION

An object is said to be in a rectilinear

motion when two objects are moving
in a straight line and are parallel to
each other.
TWO TYPES OF LINEAR MOTION
UNIFORM LINEAR MOTION NON UNIFORM LINEAR MOTION

WITH CONSTANT VELOCITY WITH VARIABLE VELOCITY

Uniform motion is the Non-uniform motion is the

rectilinear motion of a body rectilinear motion of a body
when it covers a similar when it covers unequal or
distance in similar time variable distance in similar
intervals. time intervals.
TYPES OF RECTILINEAR MOTION
UNIFORMLY NON-UNIFORM
UNIFORM MOTION
ACCELERATED MOTION MOTION

Uniform motion is The acceleration Non-uniform motion

the rectilinear remains uniform; the is the rectilinear
motion of a body acceleration is equal motion of a body
when it covers a to a number and when it covers
similar distance in that number does unequal or variable
similar time not change as a distance in similar
intervals. function of time. time intervals.
UNIFORM RECTILINEAR
MOTION-URM

it is a rectalinear motion with no

acceleration(zero acceleration)
it is a rectalinear motion with
constant velocity
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED
MOTION

motion in which the

velocity is changing at
constant acceleration
NON-UNIFORM MOTION

motion in which the

acceleration is changes with
position, or time, or velocity
