5. What is meant by circular motion?
Answers
Answer:
In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. ... The rotation around a fixed axis of a three-dimensional body involves circular motion of its parts.
The movement of a body following a circular path is called a circular motion. Now, the motion of a body moving with constant speed along a circular path is called Uniform Circular Motion. Here, the speed is constant but the velocity changes.
Examples of circular motion include: an artificial satellite orbiting the Earth at a constant height, a stone which is tied to a rope and is being swung in circles, a car turning through a curve in a race track, an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, and a gear turning inside a mechanism.
