Is the motion of the body moving along a circular path with uniform speed called uniform motion? Justify your answer.

Important Questions on Motion and Time


______ : Scalar :: Force : Vector

Time : seconds :: Distance : _____

Read the passage given below:
Change in position of any object with respect to time is called motion. A body which does not move is said to be at rest or stationary. The state of motion of any object cannot change unless a force acts upon it. As we know, all objects in this universe are in constant motion. Thus, motion is one of the important topics of Physics. Motions are of different types: such as uniform, non-uniform, periodic, linear, circular and rotatory motion. A motion which covers equal distances in equal intervals of time is called uniform motion. For a body to be in uniform motion, it must move in a straight line. When a body moves in a circular path with uniform speed, it is called uniform circular motion. When a body travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time, it is called non-uniform motion.
Answer the following question by choosing the correct options given below.
Motion of an object cannot change unless any ______ acts upon it.
