3.0 Motion in one dimension

  Motion in One Dimension

When a particle moves along a straight line, we say that the motion is one-dimensional.

Examples of motion in one dimension.

• Motion of a particle along a straight road
• Vertical motion under gravity

Types of motion in one dimension

1. Motion in a straight line with uniform velocity
2. Motion in a straight line with uniform acceleration
3. Motion in a straight line with non-uniform acceleration
