Detailed explanation-1: -When an object moves in a circular path it changes into direction and velocity at every point. The force that causes this velocity or acceleration is called centripetal force.

Detailed explanation-2: -In uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes constantly, so there is always an associated acceleration, even though the speed might be constant.

Detailed explanation-3: -In uniform circular motion, direction of velocity goes on changing continuously, however the magnitude of velocity is constant.

Detailed explanation-4: -An object moving in a circle is accelerating. Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity-either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -To summarize, an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed. While the speed of the object is constant, its velocity is changing. Velocity, being a vector, has a constant magnitude but a changing direction.
