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. |

A small bead of mass m can move on a smooth circular wire (radius R) under the action of a force F = `"Km"/"r"^2` directed (r = position of bead r from P and K = constant) towards a point P within the circle at a distance R/2 from the centre. The minimum velocity should be ______ m/s of bead at the point of the wire nearest the centre of force (P) so that bead will complete the circle. (Take `"k"/(3"R")` = 8 unit)
In uniform circular motion, although the speed is constant, why does acceleration occur?
