Question

Is a motion of a sattelite in circular orbit is eg of uniform circular motion ?

Answer 1

no it not a example of uniform circular motion because the direction of motion is changing continuously.

Answer 2

Hello! !

Here u go...


✴ In case of Uniform circular motion,


✴ As we know, in uniform circular motion, the velocity of object keeps on changing at every instant of time.


✴ Hence there will be an acceleration in motion, known as centripetal acceleration.


✴ Because of this velocity change.


✴ This acceleration always acts towards the center of motion.

✴ Hence, a motion of a sattelite in circular orbit is eg of uniform circular motion.

Hope this will help u...
