Question

What is uniform circular motion?Show that it is an accelerated motion inspite of being uniform motion

Answer 1

Answer:

Uniform circular motion is a motion in which a particle moves in the circular motion with constant speed .

Explanation:

Uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion because speed is constant but the direction of velocity is changing continously . As there is a change in velocity , so there must be an acceleration which will be toward the centre .

Answer 2

Answer:

A particle is said to perform uniform circular motion if it moves in a circle or a circular arc at constant linear speed or constant angular velocity. ... An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction.
