Question

A body moves around the sun with constant speed in circular path. Is the  motion of the body uniform or accelerated?

Answer 1

the motion is always accelerated as the direction keeps on changing so the motion is accelerated it is uniform circular motion

Answer 2

Answer:

The motion of the body is accelerated.

Explanation:

The motion of the body is accelerated. Let’s take an example of body moving in a perfectly circular path. Body keeps its speed constant at say 1000 Km/hour. Hence objective of uniform speed is achieved.

For accelerated motion the direction of velocity keeps changing at each instance. Here the body has uniform motion, but its direction changes at every point. This change in direction at every point, gives it an acceleration.
