Solving Circular Motion Problems: Uniformity and Changing Flash Frequency

In summary, the conversation discusses a photograph of a mass moving in a circular path and the concept of uniform motion. The camera used for the photograph had a flash frequency of 1Hz and resulted in a diagram showing the mass's movement. The question asks if the motion of the mass was uniform and for a demonstration of the next three positions of the mass when the flash frequency changed to 3Hz. The conversation also mentions understanding the definition of uniform motion.

I have a question here that I'am completely lost on.

A mass was moving clockwise around a circular path when a multiflash photograph was taken of its movement. The camera had a flash frequency of 1Hz ( 1 flash photo per second), and a photo similar to the diagram below resulted.

(a) was the motion of the mass uniform? WHY?

(b) at position X on the diagram, the flash frequency instantly changed to 3Hz (3 flash photos per second). Show by crosses on the above diagram the next three positions of the mass.
