Any object moving in a straight line, whether at a constant speed or not, is undergoing linear motion.
I believe linear motion is simply straight motion because linear means straight
There are so many things that use linear motion. Some of them include paper printer, bucket in a well, electric windows in a vehicle and so much more.
No, swimming is not a linear motion. It involves a combination of linear motion (from propelling oneself forward in the water) and rotational motion (from arm and leg movements).
Linear motion is motion that occurs along a straight line, and therefor non linear motion is motion that does not. Refer to the Wikipedia article in the Related links section below.
Cam and follower mechanism: Converts rotary motion into linear motion by translating the motion of a cam into the linear motion of a follower. Rack and pinion system: Uses a rotating gear (pinion) to move a linear rack back and forth, converting the rotary motion into linear motion. Scotch yoke mechanism: Utilizes a circular motion to drive a sliding block in a straight line, converting rotary motion to linear motion. Lead screw mechanism: A rotating screw that moves a nut along its threads, translating rotational motion into linear motion.
A linear actuator is a device that creates linear motion, often by converting rotational motion. For instance, an electric linear motor turns a screw that in turn "pushes" a cylinder. By this action, linear motion is created from a rotating shaft.

Uniform linear motion is when an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed, while uniform circular motion is when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed. In uniform linear motion, the velocity remains constant in both magnitude and direction, whereas in uniform circular motion, the object's velocity remains constant in magnitude but changes direction constantly.
Rotational motion occurs when an object spins around an axis without altering its linear position.
The basic motion of a car is linear motion produced by the crankshaft, which is achieved by vertical motion of the pistons in the cylinders to turn and produce linear motion of the crankshaft.
The four types of motion are linear motion (movement in a straight line), rotational motion (movement around an axis), oscillatory motion (repetitive back-and-forth or to-and-fro motion), and translational motion (combination of linear and rotational motion).
