Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. The change in magnitude or change in direction of velocity or both will result in acceleration. In a uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity is always constant but at every instant of circular motion, the direction of linear velocity is always changing, as a result, acceleration produces in a circular motion. So circular motion is an accelerated motion.
