Question

What is the difference between 1D motion and 2D motion?
I need explanation, pleases.

Answer 1

One dimensional motion is restricted to just a line. Thing about an object that can only travel on the x-axis. It's displacement, velocity and acceleration can be defined by just single numbers. The sign of that number can indicate the direction since there are only two directions.

On the other hand, two dimensional motion can happen on a plane. Think about an object that can travel anywhere on a Cartesian plane (normal graphing paper with x-axis and y-axis). This object's displacement, velocity and acceleration need to defined by two numbers and is done so usually in vectors. For example the position can be (3, 5).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1D motion is motion in only one direction. To put it simply, it's motion along a line. For example, a train on a straight track has 1D motion.

2D motion is motion in two directions. A good example of this is a projectile launched at an angle. It has both vertical motion and horizontal motion.
