उत्तर
When an object is in uniform circular motion, its velocity changes at every point.
Explanation:
In a uniform circular motion, the direction of motion of the body changes at every instant of time. This continuous change in the direction of motion of the body at every instant accounts for the change in its velocity at every point of instant.
