Question

The motion in a circular path is called

Answer 1

Answer:

In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. ... Since the object's velocity vector is constantly changing direction, the moving object is undergoing acceleration by a centripetal force in the direction of the center of rotation.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The motion in a circular path is called rotational/circular motion.

Full definition:-

• The motion of a body in a circular path about a given axis is called rotational/circular motion.

OR

• If a body is pivoted at a point and a force is applied an the body at a suitable point,it rotates the body about the axis passing through the pivoted point.This is the turning effect of the force and the motion of the body is called rotational motion.

More information:-

• Circular motion has always variable velocity as the direction of motion changes.
• There is a real force acting on a body moving in a circular path,in a direction towards the centre of the circular path that is called centripetal force.
• There is a fictious/virtual force acting on the body in a direction away from the centre of circular path and is called centrifugal force.
