Question

define uniform circular motion and give an example. why is it called accelerated motion ?​

Answer 1

Answer: Uniform circular motion can be defined as the motion of the body following a circular path at a constant speed.The body has a fixed central point and remains equidistant from it at any given position.When an object goes around a circle,the description of its motion becomes interesting in many ways.Example: moving fan.

Uniform circular motion is called as accelerated motion because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion.So,even when the body moves at a constant speed,its velocity is not constant.Thus for a body moving in a circular path at a constant speed, its velocity changes continuously.The change in velocity gives rise to an acceleration in the moving body.  Mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

When an object moves in a circular track/path with uniform speed,it's motion is called uniform circular motion.

example-if the athlete moves with a velocity of constant magnitude along the circular path,the only change in his velocity is due to the change in the direction of the motion
