When an object moves along a circular path with a constant speed, its motion is called uniform circular motion. Although the speed remains constant throughout the path, the direction of motion changes continuously at every point along the circular trajectory. Since the direction changes continuously, the velocity of the object also changes continuously, making it an accelerated motion. A common example of uniform circular motion is the motion of the Moon revolving in a circular orbit around the Earth.
