I have a question here that I'am completely lost on.

A mass was moving clockwise around a circular path when a multiflash photograph was taken of its movement. The camera had a flash frequency of 1Hz ( 1 flash photo per second), and a photo similar to the diagram below resulted.

(a) was the motion of the mass uniform? WHY?

(b) at position X on the diagram, the flash frequency instantly changed to 3Hz (3 flash photos per second). Show by crosses on the above diagram the next three positions of the mass.
