Question

Which of the following represents circular motion ________________

• A. Ball sliding down an inclined plane
• B. Motion of a simple pendulum
• C. A freely falling body
• D. A stone tied to a thread and whirled

Answer 1

The correct option is D A stone tied to a thread and whirled

An object moving in a circular path is said to be in a circular motion. A stone tied to a thread and whirled represents circular motion,

A ball sliding down an inclined plane and a freely falling body represents a linear motion, while motion of a simple pendulum is periodic but not circular.

Hence, option D is correct.
