Question

In uniform circular motion is the velocity constant? Is the acceleration constant? Explain.

Answer 1

An object moving in a circle is accelerating. Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity - either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction. An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. ... The direction of the acceleration is inwards.

Answer 2

Answer:

5. No. In case of a body undergoing uniform circular motion , the direction of the velocity of the body keeps changing continuously but the magnitude of the velocity , . the speed remains the same.
