Solution
A car moving at a constant speed means that the speed does not change with time.
Turning a car around a curve means the car is moving in a circular path
As per the definition of uniform circular motion, an object moves in a circular path with constant speed.
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.
