As per your syllabus, in UNIFORM circular motion, what stays constant and what changes?
ABoth v and direction constant
BDirection constant; speed changes
CSpeed constant; direction of v changes
DBoth v and direction change
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Speed constant; direction of v changes
Your syllabus: 'uniform' means speed |v| is constant
direction of v continually changes (tangent to circle).
