Uniform circular motion is an acceleration motion. Comment.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a body is describing a uniform circular motion, the speed of the body remains the same but the direction of velocity of the the body changes continuously with time. Since velcity is a vector quantiy. The continuous chage in the direction of velocity of the body means the continuous change in velocity of the body means the body with time. As the rate of change od velcity is acceleration, so a uniform circular motion is an acceleration so a unitorm circulat motionis an accelerated motion.
