Is linear acceleration the same as the tangential acceleration in circular motion?

No, linear acceleration refers to changes in speed along a straight line, while tangential acceleration refers to changes in speed along the circumference of a circle in circular motion. In circular motion, objects experience both tangential and centripetal accelerations.


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 device changes circular to up and down motion?

A crankshaft can convert circular motion into up and down motion. It is commonly used in engines to convert the rotational motion of the pistons into vertical movement.


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 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

What is a device that changes linear motion into circular motion?

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.

What is linear motion and nonlinear motion?

Linear motion is motion in a straight line, where an object moves along a path without changing direction. Nonlinear motion, on the other hand, involves movement that is not in a straight line, exhibiting changes in direction or speed throughout the motion. Examples of nonlinear motion include circular motion or random motion.


What are types of motion?

Types of motion include linear motion (movement in a straight line), circular motion (movement in a circular path), rotational motion (spinning or rotating around a central point), and oscillatory motion (repetitive back-and-forth 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.


What is the different between linear motion and circular motion?

Linear motion is motion in a straight line, such as a dragster heading down the track, or a person walking down the sidewalk. Circular motion is motion in a circle, such as a yo-yo swung around someones head, or a car making a turn. In physics, while these two categories of motion exist, in most cases outside textbook examples, an objects motion will include both types of motion at once.


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


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.
