Question

Which of the following real-world examples models linear motion? A. Throwing a rock in the air at a 60-degree angle B. Throwing a rock in the air at a 45-degree angle C. Running 50 m along a straight track D. Running around the curve of a track

Answer 1

c is the correct option

Answer 2

Option C, Running 50 m along a straight track

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear motion is one directional motion which requires only one dimension to explain it. This motion is along a straight line.

In all other options either the motion is taking place along a curved path(as in option D) , thereby making it a curvilinear motion or the motion is taking place at some angle (as in option A and B) thereby making it angular motion.

hence, option C is correct.
