An object moving in a circle at a constant speed is accelerating. Why?

A. because it is going faster

B. because it has constant velocity

"Acceleration" does NOT mean 'speeding up'. It means any change

in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or

moving in a curve.

An object moving in a circle at a constant speed is accelerating, because

when you're moving along a circle, your direction is constantly changing.
