Can an object accelerate If its velocity is constant?

Assertion (A) The speed of a body in uniform circular motion is constant. Reason ( R) In uniform circular motion, the acceleration of the body is constant .

(A): Acceleration is the rate of change of velecity. (R): A body having nonzere acceleration can have a constant velocity.

(A): The equations of motion in scalar form can be applied only if acceleration and velocity are along the same line. (R): If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known as uniform motion.
