Difference between uniform linear motion and uniform circular motion


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 262 People


What is the difference between uniform motion in a straight line and circular motion?

Answered by admin @



Uniform linear motion is a motion with a constant velocity,whereas uniform circular motion is the motion with a constant speed.

uniform circular motion where a centripetal acceleration always acts towards the centre and always perpendicular to the velocity of the object.

uniform linear motion is the motion where an object has no acceleration and is travelling with constant velocity.

hope it helps.......
