The speed of the object in motion, the radius of the curve in which it moves,

the force acting on it to keep it moving in a circle, its angular velocity, and its

centripetal acceleration, are all constant.

Notice that its linear velocity is not constant, because the direction of its motion

is always changing.

Although I guess you'd have to say that its velocity is constant in polar coordinates,

because the radial and tangential components are constant.

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 two kinds of circular motion?

translational motion and rotational 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.


Is uniform circular motion and circular motion is the same?

no, in uniform circular motion the magnitude of your velocity, and therefore your acceleration is constant. in general this does not need to be true. consider this simple experiment, in a children's playground, go to a roundabout. stand on the roundabout and kick once, then wait for your motion to completely stop before kicking again. your motion is still circular, but neither velocity or acceleration is constant.


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 circular motion?

Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion


Is the motion of earth a uniform circular motion?

yes the motion of earth around the sun is 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 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


Give reason why uniform circular motion is considered as accelerated motion?

Because within circular motion, acceleration is constant
