Question

Give two difference between uniform linear motion and uniform circular
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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Uniform Linear motion:

1. An object is said to move in uniform linear motion , if it travels in straight line and covers equal DISTANCE in equal time interval.

2. No change in direction.

3.. SPEED is constant and constant velocity.

4. Acceleration is zero.

Example: A car moving forward at speed of 40km/h towards North direction.

Uniform circular motion:

1. When a body moves in circular path with uniform speed , it's motion is called uniform circular motion.

2. Motion is said to be accelerated.

3. SPEED is constant but direction of motion changes every point.

Example:

An Athelete running in a circular path.
