Question : Which one of the following attributes is not true for uniform circular motion?
Option 1: The speed of the body remains constant
Option 2: Velocity is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle
Option 3: The velocity of the body is continuously changing
Option 4: The distance is always equal to the displacement
Correct Answer: The distance is always equal to the displacement
Solution : The correct answer is The distance is always equal to the displacement.
Uniform circular motion is when an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. While speed remains constant, velocity being a vector, changes direction continuously, always perpendicular to the circle's radius. And the distance is not always equal to the displacement in the uniform circular motion. Distance is the total length covered regardless of direction, while displacement is the shortest path between initial and final positions.
