    Which motion does not require force to maintain it?

    A)  Uniform circular motion

    B)  Elliptical motion

    C)  Uniform straight line motion

    D)  Projectile motion

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Key Idea In uniformly straight line motion there is no friction present. According to Newtons second law of motion                 \[F=ma\] When body is moving uniformly along a straight line and there is no force of friction, acceleration/retardation of the body \[a=0\]. \[\therefore \]  \[F=ma=0\] ie, no external force is required. For accelerated motion, force is necessary. In uniform circular motion, elliptical motion and projectile motion direction of velocity changes due to which force is imposed.
