Question

Why is the motion of a particle along a circular path with a uniform speed said to be an accelerated motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

because acceleration of a body depend on the direction as well and as in circular motion direction of the body keeps changing it is said to be accelerating

Answer 2

Q. Why is the motion of a particle along a circular path with a uniform speed said to be an accelerated motion?

Ans :- Because it's direction changes at every point.

Explanation:-

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed in a specific direction.

Now, For acceleration there is change in velocity or there is change in direction.

In circular motion the velocity of particles remains constant but at every point on it's path it's direction changes.

The direction is tangent to it's path.

To find the direction of a body in circular path we have to draw the tangent at every point which gives the direction of body in circular path.

hence, in circular motion the speed remains uniform but direction changes at every point hence, it is an accelerated motion.
