Question

Why uniform circular motion is called accelerated motion while uniform linear motion is non-accelerated motion?

Answer 1

uniform circular motion is called accelerated motion because in circular motion in every second the velocity will change but in uniform linear motion no change in velocity and it is also called non -accelerated motion

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.Therefore circular motion is an acceleration motion even when the speed remains constant.
