* Velocity has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* Speed in uniform circular motion is constant, but the direction of the object's motion is constantly changing as it moves in a circle.
Think about it this way:
* Imagine a car driving around a circular track at a steady speed. Even though the car's speed is constant, its direction is always changing. It's constantly turning.
* Because velocity considers both speed and direction, the velocity of the car is changing, even if its speed is not.
Key Points:
* The object's speed remains the same.
* The object's direction is constantly changing, so its velocity is constantly changing.
* The change in velocity is due to acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, called centripetal acceleration.
Let me know if you'd like more details about centripetal acceleration!
