Question

Write two points of difference between uniform 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.25

Answer 2

Answer:

In uniform linear motion, the speed and direction of motion is fixed and so, it is not accelerated. Example- A car running on a straight road. In uniform circular motion, the speed is constant but the direction of motion changes continuously and hence, it is accelerated. Example- Motion of earth around the sun.
