Question

Is kinetic energy constant in circular motion?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Kinetic energy is the energy that an item or particle has as a result of its motion.
2. When work, which transfers energy, is performed on an item by exerting a net force, the object accelerates and obtains kinetic energy.

Therefore,

1. In a uniform circular motion, the kinetic energy is constant.
2. The speed$\left(v\right)$ in a uniform circular motion is constant, and kinetic energy is proportional to the object's speed, as shown by the kinetic energy equation.
3. The kinetic energy of an item is exactly related to its mass and the square of its velocity: $K.E=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$. Where, $m=Mass\left(cons\tan t\right)\&v=Velocity$.

Hence, kinetic energy is constant in a circular motion.
