Here's why:
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* In circular motion, the speed might be constant, but the direction of motion is constantly changing.
* As the object moves in a circle, its velocity vector is always tangent to the circle, constantly adjusting its direction.
Other quantities that remain constant during uniform circular motion:
* Speed: The magnitude of velocity remains constant.
* Magnitude of acceleration: The acceleration due to circular motion is constant, even though its direction changes.
