Solution

The correct option is B


False


In uniform linear motion, the velocity is constant and hence acceleration is zero. While in a uniform circular motion, velocity is not constant due to continuous change in direction & thus it is not a uniform motion. In uniform circular motion, acceleration is called Centripetal acceleration.
