Question

what is meant by uniform circular motion give two examples of uniform circular motion

Answer 1

Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. At all instances, the object is moving tangent to the circle.Examples of circular motion include: an artificial satellite orbiting the Earth at a constant height, a stone which is tied to a rope and is being swung in circles, a car turning through a curve in a race track, an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, and a gear turning inside a mechanism.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Uniform circular motion -

• Motion of an ovject along circumference of a circle at constant speed is called uniform circular motion.

# Examples of uniform circular motion -

1. Motion of second hand of clock.
2. Motion of blades of running fan.
3. Motion of the planets orbiting sun.
4. Motion of car running on circular track with constant speed.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
