Ah hah! You're one of those individuals who thinks that "acceleration" means "speeding up".
Admit it.
It doesn't. 'Acceleration' is any change in the speed or direction of motion. In circular
motion, the direction is constantly changing. So, although the speed is constant, that's
accelerated motion.

Is acceleration uniform in uniformly circular motion?
yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion
Is the statement 'a body moving with uniform speed along a circular path is subjected to uniform acceleration' true or false justify?
This statement is true. This type of movement is called Uniform Circular Motion. For every circular motion at constant speed, there is a constant radial acceleration (always pointing towards the center of the circle) named centripetal acceleration. This constant acceleration ensures that at every moment during the motion the orientation of the velocity is changed so that the object stays in a circular path.
What remain constant in uniform circular motion?
acceleration
Is uniformly accelerated motion uniform motion?
yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion
Why tangential acceleration is not produced in uniform circular motion?
Because there is no tangential force acting on the object in uniform circular motion. The proof that there is no tangential component of acceleration is the fact that the tangential component of velocity is constant.
What happens when centripetal acceleration occurs?
The body which is subjected to centripetal acceleration undergoes uniform circular motion.
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on spinning earth?
The acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion is towards the center.
Give reason why uniform circular motion is considered as accelerated motion?
Because within circular motion, acceleration is constant
Is uniform circular motion accelerated?
Yes, it is accelerated. Its acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. Its value is given by: a=v2/R
Is uniform circular motion is balanced forcei?
No. Since there is acceleration, it means the forces are not balanced.
Which physical quantity changes continually during a uniform circular path?
The position, the velocity, and the acceleration.
What is the direction of acceleration in circular uniform motion?
Towards the center of the motion.
