Hey>>>>
To summarize an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed.
While the speed of the object is constant, its velocity is changing. Velocity being a vector has a constant magnitude but a changing direction.

>>>hell.. oooo
Something spinning in a circle (or an orbit) moves at the same speed, but the velocity is changing with direction.
The second hand of a clock at the 12 o'clock position will have a speed of 1 tick per second. It's velocity in the x direction is 1 tick per second while it's velocity in the y direction is 0 ticks per second.
When it is at the 3 o'clock position, its speed is 1 tick per second still but this time its velocity in the x direction is 0 ticks per second, and it's velocity in the y direction is 1 tick per second.
hope this helps you...!!
