A rack and pinion system is a simple mechanism which converts linear to circular motion. More complex systems such as the pistons of a car engine rotating the drive shaft are common.

A device that changes linear motion into circular motion?

A crank converts cirular motion to linear motion and vice versa.


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.


What are the types of translational motion?

circular motion linear motion random motion


Can uniform velocity appear in circular motion?

No.. this is impossible. Velocity must have a constant direction and speed to remain constant, it may have a constant speed, but the direction in a circle constantly changes. If it suddenly were to have constant direction, then the motion would go off on a tangent.. making it linear motion, not circular. In circular motion, velocity constantly changes. Always.


Uniform linear motion vs uniform circular motion?

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 differences between curvilinear motion and circular motion?

Curve linear is antonym to linear. Circular is one among many curvelinear motions. In case of circular there will be a constant radius but in curvelinear radius would change at every instant


Does velocity of an object remain constant in uniform circular motion?

Velocity is a vector with magnitude (speed) and direction. Since the linear velocity changes direction the speed is constant but the velocity is NOT constant.


What are kinds of motion?

there are 4 kinds of motion. they are 1.linear motion 2.circular motion 3.pendulum motion 4.rotary motion


How can you convert linear motion to circular motion?

Type your answer here... by using simple rack and pinion arrangement


Is there is any linear or Circular motion equation or just the motion in which acceleration of body changes at constant velocity?

The question is, if not a maelstrom, certainly a melange at least.Especially noteworthy is the part where "acceleration of a body changesat constant velocity".Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then there isno acceleration. If velocity changes at a constant rate, then acceleration is constant.Velocity would have to change at a rate that changes, in order to have a changingacceleration.Now, what is it you're looking for ? A "linear or circular motion equation" ? There areoodles of them, describing the relationship among the position, displacement, speed,velocity, and acceleration, in one, two, or three dimensions, in rectangular, polar, andspherical coordinates, for linear motion, and an entire separate set of equations forcircular motion.


Does the direction of circular motion changes continously?

Yes


What is an linear actuator?

A linear actuator is a device that creates linear motion, often by converting rotational motion. For instance, an electric linear motor turns a screw that in turn "pushes" a cylinder. By this action, linear motion is created from a rotating shaft.
