When a body moved along a straight li...

When a body moved along a straight line from A to B its velocity vector is represented by a straight line - directed from A to B . But " when the same body rotates in circular path is velocity vector is represented by a straight line perpendicular to the plane of the circular path " . Why ?

To understand the behavior of the velocity vector of a body moving in a straight line versus one moving in a circular path, let's break down the explanation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Velocity in Linear Motion**: - When a body moves from point A to point B in a straight line, its velocity vector can be represented as a straight line directed from A to B. This is because the velocity vector indicates the direction of motion and the magnitude of the speed. In this case, the velocity vector points directly along the path of motion. 2. **Understanding Circular Motion**: ...
