Circular motion

Circular Motion in a Vertical Plane:

We already have some idea about circular motion. It is a type of motion in which the distance of the body remains constant from a fixed plane. It is further classified as a uniform and non-uniform circular motion. Some examples of circular motion are a ball tied to a string and swung in a circle, a car taking a curve on a track etc. Here we will be discussing a special type of motion known as vertical circular motion.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs

Q1 What is meant by motion?
Motion is a phenomenon in which a body varies its position over time. Motion is described in terms of distance, speed, displacement, velocity, time, and acceleration.

Q2 What is a circular motion?
Circular motion is a type of motion in which the distance of the body remains constant from a fixed plane.

Q3 What is meant by tension?
Tension is a type of force along the length of a medium, a force carried by a physically adjustable medium, such as a cable or rope.

Q4 What are the two types of circular motion?
Uniform and non-uniform circular motion are the two types of circular motion.

Q5 Give an example of circular motion. A car taking a curve on a track is an example of circular motion.
