What type of path does a moving object follow in the absence of force?
When there is no force acting on a body then a moving object move in a straight line with constant velocity and an object in rest stays in rest.
What is rotatory or circular motion?
In rotatory motion, the axis of rotation passes from a point in the bod itself whereas in circular motion, the axis of revolution passes through a point outside the body. Thus the motion of earth around the sun is the circular motion whereas the motion of earth about its own axis is the rotational motion.
What do you call on the path at which the object follows at the time it was projected or thrown into the air?
Projectile motion
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory.
What is the length of the path followed by an object?
The length of the path followed by object is called distance. There may be a number of paths between the point of start and the point of destination. Hence the object may cover different distances between same point of start and destination. The unit of distance is metre (m) or kilometre (km).
What are the two significant points of a moving object?
For a moving object two points are significant. One is the point of start or origin where from the object starts its motion and the other is the point where it reaches after certain interval of time. Points of start and destination are connected by a path taken by the object during its motion.
How can you describe the motion of an object?
You can describe the motion of an object by its position, speed, direction, and acceleration. 4 Linear Motion You can describe the motion of an object by its position, speed, direction, and acceleration. 4 Linear Motion
What happens when an object moves in a circle?
When an object goes around in a circle, the description of its motion becomes interesting in many ways. To better understand the circular motion let us look at an example. Suppose you have a ball attached to a string and you move it constantly in a circular motion. Then we observe two things: The speed of the ball is constant.
