A 300-m tall tower is built on the equator. How much faster does a point at the top of the tower move than a point at the bottom?

Velocity in uniform circular motion refers to the speed and direction of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed.
The formula for velocity in uniform circular motion is v = 2πr / T, where v is the velocity, r is the radius of the circular path, and T is the time it takes for the object to complete one full revolution.
No, the velocity in uniform circular motion remains constant as the object moves around the circular path at a constant speed. However, the direction of the velocity constantly changes as the object moves around the circle.
Velocity and speed are similar concepts but they have a slight difference in the context of uniform circular motion. While speed refers to the magnitude of the movement, velocity takes into account the direction of the movement as well.
No, an object cannot have a constant velocity in non-uniform circular motion as the speed and direction of the object constantly change. In this case, the object may have a constant speed, but its velocity is changing.
