Question
Assertion : Linear momentum of a body changes even when it is moving uniformly in a circle.
Reason : In uniform circular motion velocity remain constant.

Answer

(c) In uniform circular motion, the direction of motion changes, thereforevelocitychanges.As$P=m v$ therefore momentum of a body also changes in uniform circular motion.
