Homework Statement
what is/are for a body to move in a straight line?
Linear motion condition refers to the state in which an object moves with a constant velocity in a straight line. This means that the object's speed and direction do not change, and it does not deviate from its original path.
Unlike other types of motion such as circular or oscillatory motion, linear motion follows a straight path and does not involve any change in direction. It also has a constant velocity, which means the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
The equation for linear motion condition is d = vt, where d is the distance traveled, v is the velocity, and t is the time. This equation can be used to calculate any of these variables if the other two are known.
Some examples of linear motion condition in everyday life include a car moving in a straight line on a highway, a ball rolling down a ramp, or a person walking in a straight line. Any object that moves with a constant velocity in a straight line can be considered to be in linear motion condition.
The main factors that affect an object's linear motion condition are external forces such as friction and air resistance, as well as the object's mass and its initial velocity. These factors can either speed up or slow down the object, causing its velocity to change and breaking the linear motion condition.
