The motion along a straight line is known as rectilinear motion.
Vertical motion is the motion that is perpendicular to the ground.
Motion directly either toward or away from the center is 'radial' motion. Motion where the distance from the center is constant is 'tangential' motion.
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.
