Q. Which of the following happens when a body moves with a constant speed in a circle?
Answer: its velocity remains constant
Notes: A body moving with a constant speed in a circle is an example of uniform circular motion. The velocity vector is constant in magnitude but changing in direction. Since, velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity which leads to change in acceleration.
