Question

What are the factors on which distance covered by an object undergoing circular motion depends?
Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards.

(b) Separation between earth and moon is 384.4×10

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate not a difficult one

Explanation:

object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards so it depends upon the radius and also it is a acclirated motion so v and u are most important factors
