Q. A body moving in a circular path with a constant speed has a
Answer: constant kinetic energy
Notes: In circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity of the body is constant but the direction is constantly changing. This means that, even though the speed is not changing, the velocity is changing. This means that body moving in a circular is accelerating. A body moving at constant speed in a circular path experiences an acceleration directed towards the centre of the circular path. Thus, kinetic energy remains constant because the speed is constant.
