Question

Explain the difference between a uniform linear motion and a uniform circular motion.

Short Note

Solution

In uniform linear motion, the velocity is constant and acceleration is zero i.e., the uniform linear motion is an un-accelerated motion, while in a uniform circular motion the velocity is variable (although speed is uniform), so it is an accelerated motion.
