Linear motion--the study of movement in a straight line is where we begin our exploration of motion. Since linear motion is only 1-Dimensional, we can begin laying our foundation for understanding all types of movement in many dimensions, eventually moving to 2 and then 3 Dimensions!

Enjoy your studies of linear motion whether it be investigating Olympic sprinters winning the 100 meter dash, finding your dream car by checking out Car & Driver's 0-60 showdown, or understanding the beauty and symmetry of a football tossed in free fall--linear motion is the key that unlocks our fundamental understanding of all types of motion!
