Question

explain why the motion of a body which is moving with constant speed in a circular path is set to be accelerated

Answer 1

HELLO FRIEND HERE IS UR ANSWER


In a uniform circular motion the magnitude of the velocity is constant but the direction keeps changing.

Direction is always tangential to thecircle it is moving in.

So this means the body has acceleration. A body moving in circular motion will always have centripetal and centrifugal force acting on it.

HOPE HELPS ✌️✌️✌️

Answer 2

in uniform circular motion speed remain constant bcoz its a scaler quantity ,do not depend on direction.
while, in case of velocity and acceleration direction is a major factor bcoz both are vector quantity due to which their value keeps changing with directions in circular path.
Hence, the motion is said to be accelerated.
