Curvilinear motion

The motion of an object moving in a curved path is called curvilinear motion.[1] Example: A stone thrown into the air at an angle.

Curvilinear motion describes the motion of a moving particles that conforms to a known or fixed curve. The study of such motion involves the use of two co-ordinate systems, the first being planar motion and the latter being cylindrical motion.
