Question

explain why the motion of a body
which is moving with contant
Speed in a circular path is said to
be acceleated?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Uniform circular motion is accelerated because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion. ... 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Since in an uniform circular motion, although the speed of body remains constant but the direction of velocity of the body changes continuously and hence the velocity of the body changes at every instant.

Acceleration of the body is defined as the rate of change in velocity of the body.

Hence the body is said to be accelerated though the speed is constant in a circular path.
