Question

Give three difference between uniform motion and uniform circular motion
​

Answer 1

Uniform circular motion is different from uniform linear motion in following ways :

(1)  Uniform linear motion exhibits only in one dimension while uniform circular motion is a 2 dimensional motion.

(2)  Displacement can never be zero in uniform linear motion whereas may or may be zero in uniform circular motion.

(3)  The magnitude and direction of velocity remains the same in uniform linear motion whereas the magnitude of velocity remains the same but its direction continuously changes in uniform circular motion.
