Solution
An object is moving with acceleration but with uniform speed: This is possible.
An object moving in a circular path with uniform speed, i.e. covering equal distances in equal amounts of time is said to be moving with acceleration due to the change in direction of velocity at every instant.
The velocity of an object is a vector quantity, and it is dependent upon the direction of motion.
The velocity of an object in a uniform circular motion keeps on changing due to continuous changes in the direction of motion. Therefore, circular motion is an example of an object moving with acceleration but also with a uniform speed.
