  • Uniform Circular Motion: What Remains Constant?
    In uniform circular motion, the following quantities do remain constant:

    * Speed: The object moves at a constant speed.

    * Magnitude of Velocity: While the direction of velocity changes, its magnitude (speed) remains constant.

    However, the quantity that does not remain constant is:

    * Velocity: While the speed is constant, the direction of motion is constantly changing, causing the velocity vector to change continuously.

    Think of it like this: imagine a car driving in a circle at a steady speed. Even though the car is moving at a constant speed, its direction is constantly changing, meaning its velocity is not constant.
