Homework Statement
Write the difference between movement in one dimension and movement in two dimensions,also which are the different types for each of these movements
Nikog said:so i could say that the main difference (in simple terms ) is that movement in one dimensio is an objects moving in only one directio(staright line) while the movement in two dimensions would be an objects moving in two different directions at the same time?

Movement in one dimension refers to motion along a single axis, such as a straight line. This means that an object's position can only change along one direction, and all of its movements are restricted to this direction.
The main difference is that movement in two dimensions allows for motion along two axes, typically represented as x and y coordinates on a graph. This means that an object's position can change in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and its movements are not restricted to a single line.
Examples of movement in one dimension include a car driving along a straight road, a pendulum swinging back and forth, or a rocket moving in a single direction in outer space.
Yes, an object can move in both one and two dimensions at the same time. This is known as motion in three dimensions, where an object's position can change in all three axes (x, y, and z).
Understanding the difference between movement in one and two dimensions is crucial for accurately describing and predicting the motion of objects in various scenarios. It also allows for the application of different mathematical formulas and principles, such as vector addition and trigonometry, to solve problems involving motion in different dimensions.
