Question

Why is uniform circular motion called accelerated motion? Answer in 1-2 sentences.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Uniform Circular Motion is called accelerated motion because though speed remains the same, the velocity keeps on changing.
