Solution

A body moves along a circular path of constant radius. The body has acceleration which is variable.

In circular motion, the direction of velocity keeps changing. Therefore, the direction of acceleration also changes continuously, even if its magnitude may remain constant.

Hence, the acceleration is variable.
