(FALSE) The statement is False.
Rectilinear motion is defined as the motion of an object along a straight line.
Motion along a curved path is known as curvilinear motion.
Translatory motion refers to motion where all parts of a body move in the same direction at the same time,which can occur along a straight or curved path,but it is not synonymous with rectilinear motion.

$A$ car starts from rest and moves along the $x-$ axis with constant acceleration $5\, ms^{-2}$ for $8\, s$. If it then continues with constant velocity,what distance will the car cover in $12\, s$ since it started from the rest (in $m$)?

$A$ body is thrown vertically upward with velocity $u$,the greatest height $h$ to which it will rise is,

An object is dropped from rest at a height of $150 \, m$ and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height of $100 \, m$. What is the difference in their heights after $2 \, s$ if both objects drop with the same acceleration? How does the difference in heights vary with time?

An object starts a linear motion with velocity $u$ and with uniform acceleration $a$,it acquires a velocity $v$ in time $t$.
$(a)$ Draw its velocity-time graph.
$(b)$ Obtain the first equation of motion,$v = u + at$,for the velocity-time relation by using the velocity-time graph.
$(c)$ $A$ body moving with a velocity of $2 \, m s^{-1}$ acquires a velocity of $10 \, m s^{-1}$ in $5 \, s$. Find its acceleration.
