each occurrence to the appropriate position in order to identify the correct type of motion.

Solution

Linear acceleration is the rate of change of linear velocity with respect to time. It is applicable for bodies moving in a straight or linear path. Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity with respect to time. It is applicable for bodies moving in a circular path.
