Question
Assertion : A body may be accelerated even when it is moving uniformly.
Reason : When direction of motion of the body is changing then body may have acceleration.

Answer

(e) The uniform motion of a body means that the body is moving with constant velocity, but if the direction of motion is changing (such as in uniform circular motion), its velocitychanges and thus acceleration is produced in uniform motion.
