Solution

  1. A car moving at a constant speed means that the speed does not change with time.
  2. Turning a car around a curve means the car is moving in a circular path
  3. As per the definition of uniform circular motion, an object moves in a circular path with constant speed.
  4. So we can say that this type of motion of a car represents a uniform circular
    Hence a car moving at a constant speed and turning around a curve is a uniform circular motion.
