Solution

The motion of a train on a track is rectilinear because it moves in a straight line.
A particle is considered to be in rectilinear motion or linear motion when we only need one axis of coordinates and one dimension of time to describe its motion.
Soldiers marching in formation, a train running in a line, and many more things are examples of linear motion.
