An object performing uniform circular mo...

An object performing uniform circular motion performs accelerated motion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Magnitude of velocity (speed) of an object performing uniform circular motion is maintained constant, but the direction of velocity is in the direction of tangent drawn at each point on circular path, i.e., is different. So velocity (vector quantity) also changes continuously. Hence, the object performs accelerated motion.
