What is the difference between uniform linear motion and uniform circular motion? Explain with examples.
Uniform linear motion | Uniform circular motion |
It is uniform motion along a linear path or a straight line | is uniform motion along a circular path |
The direction of motion is fixed | The direction of motion changes continuously |
it is not accelerated | it is accelerated |
e.g.: a car running with uniform speed of 10km/hr on a straight road. | For e.g.: motion of earth around the sun. |
