(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.
