Uniform Circular Motion refers to the movement of an object traveling in a circular path at a constant speed. In this type of motion, the object maintains a consistent distance from the center of the circle, resulting in a uniform speed. However, even though the speed is constant, the direction of the object's velocity is continuously changing, which means it is accelerating. The acceleration in uniform circular motion is directed toward the center of the circle, known as centripetal acceleration. This inward force is necessary to keep the object moving in a circular path, preventing it from flying off in a straight line due to inertia. Examples of uniform circular motion include a car turning around a circular track or a planet orbiting a star.
