β 8y agoAn object moving in a straight line maintains a constant direction from its starting point. An object moving in a curved trajectory is following a path that is not straight and may be influenced by another object's gravitational pull or magnetic field.
The curved path that an object follows as it revolves around another object is called an orbit. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or parabolic depending on the gravitational forces acting on the objects involved.
Motion refers to an object's change in position over time. Words like "speed up," "slow down," "accelerate," and "decelerate" can be used to describe how an object is moving. Other words, such as "straight," "curved," "circular," and "zigzag," can describe the path of the motion.
Objects can move in a straight line, rotate around an axis, or follow a curved path.
Some examples of types of motion include linear motion (objects moving in a straight line), rotation (objects spinning about an axis), oscillation (objects moving back and forth around a central point), and orbital motion (objects moving in a curved path around another object).
An object orbits another object due to gravity, which is the force of attraction between the two objects. The orbital motion is a result of the balance between the object's inertia wanting to move straight and the gravitational pull pulling it in a curved path.
A synonym for straight is unbent.
curved
Left and right can function as adjectives when used to describe direction or position. Straight can function as an adjective to describe something that is not curved or bent, or as an adverb to describe movement in a direct line without deviation.
Curved.
Humans have a straight curved spine when most animals have a C curved spine.
straight
It describes the orbit of one object around another due to gravitational interaction, such as a planet orbiting a star. The path is elliptical in shape, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion. This phenomenon is key to understanding celestial mechanics and the dynamics of our solar system.
Straight, curved are hard on your back.
straight
Both "pictorial" and "straight" can be used to describe lines. "Pictorial" typically refers to lines or images that are visually representational or graphic in nature, while "straight" describes lines that are not curved or bent in any way.
curved
There can be a combination of the two - a line that is straight for a while and then curved, or a zigzag.
