RECTILINEAR MOTION - When an object in translational motion* moves in a straight line, it is said to be in rectilinear motion. Examples are a car                                                    moving on a straight road and a train moving on a straight track.



CURVILINEAR MOTION - When an object in translational motion* moves along a curved path, it is said to be in curvilinear motion. Examples are a                                                 stone thrown up in the air at an angle and a car taking a turn.



                                           *translational motion is a type of motion in which all parts of an object move the same distance in a given time.
