Question

Uniform linear motion is a/an _______ motion while uniform circular motion is a/an _______ motion.

• A. accelerated, non accelerated
• B. non accelerated, accelerated
• C. deviated, retarded
• D. uniform, retarded

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

non accelerated, accelerated

In a uniform linear motion, the direction of motion is fixed and since it also has a constant speed, uniform linear motion is not accelerated. In a uniform circular motion, the direction of motion changes continuously. So even if it has a constant speed, it is accelerated.
