Question

Can the motion of a body around a circular path with constant speed be considered as uniform motion?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Yes, it can be considered.

When a body moves in a circular path with uniform speed or constant speed, its motion is known as Uniform Circular motion. It is possible for a body to move in a circular path with uniform speed as long as it is travelling equal distances in equal intervals of time.
But the velocity of the body in a uniform circular path keeps on changing as speed is uniform but direction of motion keeps on changing.
