Which of the following is a suitable word to describe the motion of a rotating ball tied to rope tied tightly to a fixed support?(a) Spiral motion(b) Circular motion(c) Elliptic motion(d) Uniform motionThis question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My query is from Non-Uniform Circular Motion topic in portion Laws of Motion of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (a) Spiral motion

To elaborate: A ball, tied to a ROPE, rotating around a fixed SUPPORT will CAUSE the rope to wind itself around the support. Hence, the motion will be circular with decreasing RADIUS. This motion will cause the path look like a spiral. Hence the motion is spiral in NATURE.
