Question

Why uniform circular motion is variable accelerated motion?

Answer 1

Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. ... An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards.

Answer 2

An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. ... Yet, with the inward net force directed perpendicular to the velocity vector, the object is always changing its direction and undergoing an inward acceleration?
