Question

a) differentiate between uniform linear and uniform circular motion.
b)write any four examples of uniform circular motion .
c) is uniform motion accelerated motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

The basic difference between uniform linear motion & uniform circular motion is. Uniform Linear Motion: Velocity is constant & thus it is a uniform motion. Acceleration is zero. Uniform Circular Motion: Velocity is not constant due to continuous change in Direction & thus it is not a uniform motion.Jun 25,

Answer 2

Uniform linear motion

1. The object is said to be in uniform linear motion when it covers equal distances in equal intervals of time in a straight line.
2. This uniform linear motion is not an accelerated motion.

Uniform circular motion

1. The object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
2. e.g., the orbiting of the Earth around the Sun and the orbiting of Moon and other human made satellites around the Earth
3. Since the direction of an object in circular path is changing, the uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion
