Question
Assertion : When a particle moves in a circle with a uniform speed, its velocity and acceleration both changes.
Reason : The centripetal acceleration in circular motion is dependent on angular velocity of the body.

Answer

(b) In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity and acceleration remains same, but due to change in direction of motion, the direction of velocity and acceleration changes. Also the centripetal acceleration is given by $a=\omega^2 r$.
