Question

Define uniform circular motion and give example of it. Why is it called
accelerated motion?

Answer 1

Explanation:

circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation.

Uniform circular motion is accelerated because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion. ... The change in velocity gives rise to an acceleration in the moving body. Therefore circular motion is an acceleration motion even when the speed remains constant.
