Question

Define inform circular motion it is an accelerated motion if yes what is the direction of acceleration give an example of this type of motion

Answer 1

Explanation:

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION:

If a particle moves along a circular path with a constant speed (that is it cover equal dist. along the circumference of the circle in equal interval of time ) then its motion is said to be uniform circular motion.

Example :

i Motion of the tip of the second hand of a clock.

ii. Motion of a point on the rim of a wheel rotating uniformly.

DIRECTION OF ACCELERATION IN UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION IS ACT TOWARDS THE CENTRE OF CIRCLE.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Uniform circular motion is accelerated because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion. So, even when the body moves ta a constant speed, its velocity is not constant. ... Therefore circular motion is an acceleration motion even when the speed remains constant.
