Linear motion, also called rectilinear motion, is one-dimensional motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension. The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity ; and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity. The motion of a particle along a line can be described by its position , which varies with (time). An example of linear motion is an athlete running a 100-meter dash along a straight track.
