What is curvilinear motion?
Answer:
Basically, it's any motion that's formed or bounded by curved -- as opposed to straight -- lines.
In high school, curvilinear motion is usually confined to parabolic paths traveled by objects, such as a thrown ball or a bullet fired from a gun, that are moving through space in a uniform gravitational field.
