What is the difference between uniform motion in a straight line and uniform circular motion?

  • A
    Uniform linear motion has constant velocity,while uniform circular motion has changing velocity.
  • B
    Uniform linear motion has zero acceleration,while uniform circular motion has non-zero acceleration.
  • C
    Both have constant speed,but only uniform linear motion has constant direction.
  • D
    All of the above.
