A particle is moving with constant speed by keeping itself at constant distance from a fixed point in a given plane. Its motion is:
Correct answer: C. Uniform circular motion with fixed axis of rotation
- A. Circular motion
- B. Uniform circular motion
- C. Uniform circular motion with fixed axis of rotation
- D. Uniform circular motion with axis of rotation not defined
Explanation
Uniform circular motion with fixed axis of rotation: It correctly describes the motion of the particle to be circular; as it remains at a constant distance from a point (this distance is the radius). The particle has a uniform motion describing that it has a constant speed. Also that the particle has a fixed axis of rotation, that it moves around a fixed point.

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
