What is the difference between ease-out and linear timing functions?

Short interview answer

ease-out starts fast and decelerates toward the end, which usually feels more natural for UI motion, while linear moves at a constant rate throughout, which can feel mechanical for organic-feeling interactions.

Key takeaway

Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
