Question

What is the difference between uniform linear motion and uniform circular motion? Explain with examples.

Answer 1

Uniform linear motion is uniform motion along a linear path or a straight line. The direction of motion is fixed. So, it is not accelerated. For e.g.: a car running with uniform speed of $10km/hr$ on a straight road.

Uniform circular motion is uniform motion along a circular path. The direction of motion changes continuously. So, it is accelerated. For e.g.: motion of earth around the sun.
