Linear motion Flashcards
1
Q
What is linear motion
A
Movement of a body in a straight or curved line,where all body parts move the same distance,in the same direction over the same time
2
Q
What is direct force
A
A force applied through the CoM resulting in linear motion
3
Q
What is CoM
A
The point at which the body is balanced in all directions
4
Q
