What is the difference between linear and angular motion? Explain through example.

Answer:

Linear motion is any motion that moves along a straight line in one direction. The direction can either be horizontal vertical or inclined direction. Example, approach run.

Angular motion is rotatory motion, it occurs when all points on a body or object move in a circular path about the same fixed central line or axis. A child swings and rotations in hammer throw are the best example.
