Question 8

Write the similarities and differences between the motion of a bicycle and a ceiling fan that has been switched on.

Answer 1

Similarity: The motion associated with a moving fan is circular motion. Also, in the case of a bicycle, the pedals undergo circular motion. So both cases show a circular motion.

Difference: The overall motion of fan is circular whereas that of a bicycle is rectilinear. Although the pedals of a bicycle undergo circular motion, the overall motion is considered as a rectilinear motion.
