State whether the following statements are true or false by writing T/F against them.
(a) Earth moves around the Sun with a uniform velocity.
(b) The motion of Moon around Earth in a circular path is an accelerated motion.
(c) A uniform linear motion is unaccelerated, while a uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion.
(d) In a uniform circular motion, the speed continuously changes because the direction of the motion changes.
(e) A boy experiences a centrifugal force on his hand when he rotates a piece of stone tied at one end of a string, holding the other end in the hand.

(a) True. The Earth’s motion around the Sun isn’t uniform due to its elliptical orbit, causing variable speeds.

(b) True. The Moon’s circular motion around Earth involves continuous changes in velocity direction, indicating acceleration.

(c) True. Unlike uniform linear motion, uniform circular motion involves continuous changes in velocity direction, resulting in centripetal acceleration.

(d) False. Although speed remains constant in uniform circular motion, velocity (including direction) changes continuously.

(e) False. The force felt by the hand in rotating an object is centripetal, not centrifugal.
