Q1 of 14 Page 104

Uniform circular motion is called continuously accelerated motion because,


In uniform circular motion, the speed is constant. The direction of motion of a body in uniform circular motion is given by a tangent drawn at the point where the body is. As the direction of motion changes at every instant, the velocity changes continuously. The continuous change in velocity makes it a continuously accelerated motion.
