Solution

Two type of translator motion are Rectilinear/Linear motion and Curvilinear motion.
Rectilinear/Linear motion: In this case, the object moves along a straight line path. For example, a car driving along a straight road is performing rectilinear motion.
Curvilinear motion: When an object moves along a curved path, then the motion is said to be curvilinear motion. Eg: A car moving on a curved road is an example of curvilinear motion.
