* A car driving around a curve: The car's path is not a straight line, but rather a curved one.
* A ball thrown through the air: The ball's path is curved due to gravity.
* A satellite orbiting the Earth: The satellite's path is a near-circular orbit around the Earth.
* A roller coaster: The roller coaster's track is designed with curves and loops, resulting in curvilinear motion.
* A spinning top: The point at the top of the spinning top traces a circular path.
Key point: Curvilinear motion is any motion where the object's path is not a straight line.
