Explain what is meant by circular motion.

a)

Circular motion is the movement of an object along a circular path, influenced by a centripetal force.

b)

Circular motion is the oscillation of an object back and forth in a circular pattern.

c)

Circular motion refers to the linear movement of an object in a straight line.
