MCQ
Uniform circular motion is called continuously accelerated motion mainly because its:
  • Direction of motion changes
  • B
    Speed remains the same
  • C
    Velocity remains the same
  • D
    Direction of motion does not change

Answer

Correct option: A.
Direction of motion changes
An accelerating body is an object that is changing its velocity.
And since velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity.
