Question

Choose the correct statement for a body undergoing a uniform circular motion.

• A. Its speed changes but velocity remains the same.
• B. Both speed and velocity changes.
• C. Its velocity changes but speed remains the same.
• D. Both speed and velocity do not change.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Its velocity changes but speed remains the same.

In a uniform circular motion, the speed of the body is constant. However, since it is moving in a circle, the direction of motion continuously changes.
Hence, its velocity changes but speed remains constant.
