Question

A satellite goes round the earth in a circular orbit with a constant speed.is the motion uniform or accelerated?

Answer 1

any object moving in a circular path change direction and when an object change its direction we can't say that it has the constant velocity and when an object don't have the same velocity at every instant of time it means it is changing its velocity and we know that the change in velocity is what we call acceleration hence any object moving in a circular path is called an accelerated motion of the object the satellite going around the sun shows the example of an accelerated motion

Answer 2

Answer:

yes, the motion of a satellite round the earth in a circular orbit is accelerating.
