This is not strictly true; an object in orbit, going in a circular motion, at least from a human perspective, is not accelerating. However, any object going in a circular motion that is not orbiting another object is being contained in a circle artificially, either by a tether or by thrust, that would go in a straight line if no other force were acting on it, is experiencing "acceleration," which is not necessarily "going faster" as might be assumed.

An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing because its 'direction' is constantly changing due to the circular motion. The speed may be unchanging say, 5 miles per hour but the direction may be going form East to North to West to South and then back to East, say in counter clockwise motion.

Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion

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.
speed... this is said to be uniform circular motion
if an object moves along a circular path, the only change in its velocity is due to the change in the direction of the motion. The motion of the object moving along the circular path is, which is a uniform circular motion, is therefore an accelerated motion:):):):/

Accelerating.
In circular motion the object travels in the circular trajectory because of the centripetal force exerted on it. Otherwise the velocity is always in tangential direction which means that stopping the centripetal force can send the object in a straight path.
