Solution
| Sr. No. | Uniform linear motion | Uniform circular motion |
| 1. | The body moves along a straight line. | The body moves along a circular path. |
| 2. | There is no acceleration and a steady velocity and speed. | The velocity in uniform circular motion is variable. |
| 3. | It is not an accelerated motion. | It is an accelerated motion. |
