Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In uniform circular motion, which of the following statements is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what uniform circular motion means. It is when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed.
  • Step 2: Recognize that speed is the distance traveled over time and remains the same in uniform circular motion.
  • Step 3: Learn that velocity is speed with a direction. Since the object is moving in a circle, its direction is constantly changing.
  • Step 4: Conclude that even though the speed is constant, the velocity changes because the direction of motion changes.
