what is uniform circular motion? how is uniform circular motion regarded as an accelerated motion

Hola Curious!
Uniform Circular Motion:
Uniform Circular Motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. At all instances, the object is moving tangent to the circle.
How is an Uniform Circular Motion regarded as an accelerated motion?
As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... 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.
Hope it helps :)
Hi radhadevi4368, here's your answer
Answer:
Uniform circular motion is accelerated because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion. So, even when the body moves ta a constant speed, its velocity is not constant. Thus, for a body moving in a circular path at a constant speed, its velocity changes continuously.
