Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Acceleration is defined as the time rate of change in velocity of a body.
  2. Circular motion is defined as a body moving in a circular direction.
  3. The motion of a body in a circular direction with a constant velocity is called uniform circular motion.

Hence, acceleration is zero in a uniform circular motion.
