प्रश्न
Explain why, the motion of a body which is moving with constant speed in a circular path is said to be accelerated.

उत्तर
The motion of a body is said to be an accelerated one if the velocity of the body changes with time. In uniform circular motion the magnitude of velocity remains constant but the direction of motion changes at every instant. So, the motion is an accelerated one.
