How is circular motion different from rectilinear motion?

  • 1

Circular motion involves an object moving along a curved path, forming a circle, whereas rectilinear motion occurs along a straight line. In circular motion, the direction of the object continuously changes, unlike in rectilinear motion.

  1. Circular motion is characterized by an object moving along a curved path that forms a circle or part of a circle, where the direction of motion constantly changes. In contrast, rectilinear motion involves movement along a straight line with a consistent direction. While circular motion has centripetal acceleration directing towards the center, rectilinear motion may involve uniform or variable speed along a straight path. These differences in direction and path shape distinguish the two types of motion.
