What is the difference between uniform motion in a straight line and uniform circular motion?

  • A
    Uniform linear motion has constant velocity,while uniform circular motion has changing velocity.
  • B
    Uniform linear motion has zero acceleration,while uniform circular motion has non-zero acceleration.
  • C
    Both have constant speed,but only uniform linear motion has constant direction.
  • D
    All of the above.

$A$ frog hops along a straight line path from point $A$ to point $B$ in $10 \, s$ and then turns and hops to point $C$ in another $5 \, s$. Based on the provided number line,calculate the average speed and average velocity of the frog for the motion between: $(a)$ $A$ to $B$ $(b)$ $A$ to $C$ (through $B$).

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$1$. The motion in animals is called locomotion.
$2$. Mechanics deals with the motion of non-living objects.

Out of the three speed-time graphs shown below,identify the graph for the following cases:
$(i)$ $A$ ball thrown vertically upwards and returning to the hand of the thrower.
(ii) $A$ body decelerating to a constant speed and then accelerating.

The driver of a train $A$ travelling at a speed of $54\, km\, h^{-1}$ applies brakes and retards the train uniformly. The train stops in $5\, s$. Another train $B$ is travelling on the parallel track with a speed of $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. This driver also applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly. The train $B$ stops in $10\, s$. Plot the speed-time graph for both the trains on the same paper. Also,calculate the distance travelled by each train after the brakes were applied.
