Question

5. A uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion.
Explain it. State whether the acceleration is uniform
or variable ? Name the force responsible to cause this
acceleration. What is the direction of force at any
instant ? Draw a diagram in support of your answer.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the object moves in a circular path with uniform speed, it means that its magnitude of velocity does not change, only its direction changes continuously. Hence, it is considered as uniformly accelerated motion.The force responsible to cause this acceleration is inward or centripetal force. The direction of force at any instant is towards the center of the circular path.
