Question

Pick the example(s) of circular motion from the following.

• A. Meery-go-round
• B. Motion of train on a track
• C. Motion of blades of a ceiling fan
• D. A stone tied to string and rotated

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

A stone tied to string and rotated

When an object moves along the circumference of a circle or rotation around a circular path, the motion is called circular motion.
Therefore, motion of blades of a ceiling fan, meery-go-round, and a stone tied to string and rotated are all the examples of circular motion.
While motion of train on a track is an example of translatory motion.
