Term
| Description of lineare motion |
|
Definition
all the parts of the object move the same distance, in the same direction, and at the same rate
Rectilinear-straight line
Curvilinear-curved path |

Term
| Description of angular motion |
|
Definition
(swing)
Movement of an object about a fixed point; all of the parts move through the same angle in the same direction at the same time; they DO NOT move the same distance. |
