In circular motion, acceleration can never be zero, provided the body is moving


In circular motion, there are two components of acceleration:

1) Tangential Acceleration, which is in the direction of motion at each instant

2) Centripetal Acceleration, which is perpendicular to the direction of motion at each instant. This component is directed towards the centre of the circular path.

The Centripetal Acceleration helps to maintain circular motion, that is circular motion cannot exist without this acceleration

The Tangential Acceleration determines the speed. In case of uniform circular motion, Tangential speed is constant, and so tangential Acceleration becomes zero. But even here, Centripetal Acceleration is not zero

Circular motion cannot exist without Centripetal Acceleration. So, your answer is: Circular motion cannot exist without Acceleration
