Answer (2)

The direction of the motion is constantly changing during motion over any closed path, not only circular.

In uniform circular motion, the velocity is the physical quantity that changes continuously due to its changing direction, despite a constant speed. This change in velocity leads to the presence of acceleration and requires a centripetal force to maintain the motion. Therefore, even with constant speed, the object experiences a continuous change in its velocity vector.
