Question

Explain why the motion of a body which is moving with constant speed
in a circular path is said to be accelerated.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration:-

The rate of change in velocity with time terms as acceleration.

In order to move in a circle a body has to continuously change it's direction.

Velocity changes if the direction or magnitude or both changes with time.

In this case the magnitude of velocity remains same but the direction continuously changes because of centripetal force on the body which makes it possible for the body to have circular path.

So we can see body changes it's direction of motion which means change in velocity hence the body have accelerated motion.

Answer 2

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.
