Correct Answer: Uniform velocity, variable acceleration


Solution : The correct option is Uniform velocity, variable acceleration.

A body moving on a circular route is an example of uniform velocity and variable acceleration. The body's speed remains constant (uniform velocity) in a uniform circular motion, but its direction changes continually as it goes around the circle. This shift in direction causes a centripetal acceleration towards the circle's centre. As a result, while the speed stays constant, the body feels varying acceleration, illustrating uniform velocity and varied acceleration.
