$(a)$ Define uniform circular motion.
$(b)$ Is the uniform circular motion an accelerated motion? Give reasons for your answer.
$(a)$ It is defined as the motion of a body along a circular path with constant speed.
$(b)$ Yes. This is because the direction of motion keeps on changing. This changing direction produces acceleration.
