Because 'acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'. It means any change

in speed or direction of motion.

Uniform circular motion involves constantly changing direction, and that's

constant acceleration.

Is uniform circular motion is accelerated 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:):):):/

How uniform circular motion is rewarded from accelerated motion?

The purpose and function of the word "rewarded" here are very unclear, as is the thrust of the question. Uniform circular motion IS uniformly accelerated motion, since the direction of the motion is constantly changing.


Give reason why uniform circular motion is considered as accelerated motion?

Because within circular motion, acceleration is constant


Which of following is best example of uniform circular motion?

A car driving around a circular track at a constant speed is a good example of uniform circular motion.


Is uniformly accelerated motion uniform motion?

yes, acceleration is constant in uniform circular motion


What is the difference between uniform linear motion an uniform circular motion?

linear is which is on a straight path and circular motion is which has a curved path. *In a uniform linear motion,the velocity is constant and the acceleration is zero.So,uniform linear motion is an unaccelerated motion. *In uniform circular motion the velocity can be variable although the speed is uniform.So,it is an accelerated motion.


Is uniform circular motion accelerated?

Yes, uniform circular motion involves constant speed but changing direction, which means there is acceleration present in the form of centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the circular path.


Why is the motion of a particle along a circular path with a uniform speed said to be an accelerated motion?

To accelerate a body one must change its velocity or direction at an instantaneous moment. Since in a the velocity is uniform the direction at every point on the circular path is different. Thus making it accelerated.


What is circular 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


Why is uniform circular motion an accelerated motion?

Uniform circular motion is considered accelerated because the velocity is constantly changing direction, even though the speed remains constant. Since acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, the acceleration in this case is known as centripetal acceleration, directed towards the center of the circle.


What is uniform acceleration in physics?

Earth rotating around the sun. Anything that is constantly spinning at the same rate. actually that would be an example of uniform velocity. Uniform accelerated motion is like throwing a bal off a balcony. the rock will continue to increase speed until it hits the ground. Acceleration due to gravity (-9.81m/s^2) is what makes the ball increase speed. It constantly increases speed at an equal rate
