Yes, uniform circular motion involves constant speed but changing direction, which means there is acceleration present in the form of centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the circular path.
In uniform circular motion, the object's speed is constant but its direction continuously changes as it moves in a circular path. This differs from accelerated motion, where the speed and/or direction of the object are changing. While accelerated motion involves changes in velocity, uniform circular motion involves a consistent speed around a fixed axis.
yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion
Uniform linear motion occurs when an object moves in a straight line with constant speed. Uniform circular motion, on the other hand, occurs when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed, where the direction of motion is constantly changing.
Uniform circular motion is considered accelerated because the velocity is constantly changing direction, even though the speed remains constant. Since acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, the acceleration in this case is known as centripetal acceleration, directed towards the center of the circle.
Because 'accelerated motion' means any change in speed orany change in directionaway from a straight line. So motion on a circular path is always accelerated motion.
