- What type of motion occurs when an object moves in a circular path with constant speed?
- Uniform circular motion
- An object moving with constant speed along a circular path is said to be in uniform circular motion.
- Which force keeps an object in uniform circular motion?
- Centripetal force
- Centripetal force acts toward the center of the circle to keep an object moving in a circular path.
- What happens to the direction of velocity in uniform circular motion?
- Changes continuously
- In uniform circular motion, the direction of velocity changes at every instant while speed remains constant.
- Which celestial body exhibits uniform circular motion around the Earth?
- Moon
- The moon moves around the Earth in a nearly uniform circular motion due to gravitational force.
- What is the shape of the path traced by an object in uniform circular motion?
- Circle
- In uniform circular motion, an object follows a circular path with constant speed.
- Which quantity remains constant in uniform circular motion?
- Speed
- Although direction changes, the speed of the object remains constant in uniform circular motion.
- Which type of acceleration acts on an object in uniform circular motion?
- Centripetal acceleration
- Since velocity direction changes continuously, centripetal acceleration acts towards the center of the circular path.
- What happens to an object in circular motion if centripetal force is removed?
- Moves tangentially
- If centripetal force is removed, the object moves tangentially to the circular path in a straight line.
- Which example illustrates uniform circular motion in daily life?
- Cyclist on a circular track
- A cyclist moving with constant speed along a circular track exhibits uniform circular motion.
- Which motion of artificial satellites around Earth is an example of uniform circular motion?
- Orbital motion
- Artificial satellites move around the Earth in uniform circular motion due to gravitational attraction.
