Uniform Circular Motion









An object moving in a circle is accelerating.



Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity -



either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction.



An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with constant speed; nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction.



The direction of the acceleration is inwards.
