Question

Which of the following is not an example of a rectilinear motion?

• A. A car moving in a circular path
• B. A car moving on a straight road
• C. A rain drop falling towards the earth
• D. A wooden block sliding down the inclined plane

Answer 1

The correct option is A

A car moving in a circular path

A motion along a straight line is called rectilinear motion. A car moving in a circular path changes its direction at every instant. Thus, it is not the rectilinear motion.
