Write the similarities and differences between the motion of a bicycle wheel and a ceiling fan that has been switched on. [5 MARKS]
Answer:
:
Similarities: 2 Marks
Differences: 3 Marks
Similarities
1) Both are undergoing rotational motion.
2) The distance of any point on the wheel or ceiling fan from the center of wheel or ceiling fan respectively will remain constant.
Differences
1) The ceiling fan is doing only rotational motion, whereas wheel is doing the translational and rotational motion.
2) The position of the center of ceiling fan does not change, whereas the position of the center of wheel changes after motion.
3) The ceiling fan is doing only one type of motion, whereas wheel is doing multiple motions at the same time.
