One Dimensional Motion: Summarized

By one dimension, one means motion along a line, or in one particular direction. Think of a car going down a straight road, or a person running on a straight track.

Types of Motion:

1. Translational: An example is a car traveling on a highway.
2. Rotational: An example is the Earth's spin on its axis.
3. Vibrational: An example is the back-and-forth movement of a pendulum.

The object's position is its location with respect to a chosen reference point.
