Linear motion goes in a straight line (apply laws of physics: a body in motion will stay in motion unless otherwise impeded, most often by some type of friction or another body).

Circular motion (or non-linear motion) involves revolutions and creates centrifigal force (measured in G's if you're in the air force)

What is the difference between uniform linear motion an uniform circular motion?

linear is which is on a straight path and circular motion is which has a curved path. *In a uniform linear motion,the velocity is constant and the acceleration is zero.So,uniform linear motion is an unaccelerated motion. *In uniform circular motion the velocity can be variable although the speed is uniform.So,it is an accelerated motion.


Uniform and non-uniform motion?

if a body performs motion with constant speed along a circular path,its motion is called uniform circular motion. here,note that speed remains constant , not velocity. direction of velocity of a body in uniform circular motion, is different at each point on the circular path. consider a body performing uniform circular motion along the circle of radius'r' in anticlock wise direction. when this object is on points a,b,c,d and e, directions of its velocity are shown.v1=v2=v3=...v5=v v=distance travelled ----------------------- time =length of circular path ---------------------------- time v=circumference ----------------- time =2pier ------- t here v is also known as linear speed of the body performing uniform circular motion.


Types of motion?

uniform and non uniform motion uniform motion [ equal distance in equal intervals of time is known as uniform motion] non uniform motion [equal distance at unequal intervals of time is known as non uniform motion]


Which of following is best example of uniform circular motion?

A car driving around a circular track at a constant speed is a good example of uniform circular motion.


What is the difference between uniform and non-uniform circular motion?

Uniform motion is when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time for eg. a car on a highway. non uniform motion is when an object travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time for eg. a car in a crowded market

Is acceleration uniform in uniformly circular motion?

No, acceleration is not uniform in uniformly circular motion. In uniformly circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector is constantly changing, which means there is always a centripetal acceleration acting towards the center of the circle. This centripetal acceleration is not constant in magnitude, making the overall acceleration not uniform.


What is a Circular motion occurs when an object is traveling with constant speed in a circle?

uniform


What is non-uniform circular motion?

That means that something moves in a circle, but that the velocity is not uniform.


Is uniform circular motion is accelerated motion?

if an object moves along a circular path, the only change in its velocity is due to the change in the direction of the motion. The motion of the object moving along the circular path is, which is a uniform circular motion, is therefore an accelerated motion:):):):/


What are two kinds of circular motion?

translational motion and rotational motion


What is uniform and non uniform motion?

Think of uniform as everything moving together. For example, in uniform circular motion describes the motion of a body traversing a circular path at constant speed. The distance of the body from the axis of rotation remains constant at all times. If the motion was non-uniform the distance of the body from the axis of rotation would vary.
