Answer
Speed
Reason — In uniform circular motion, where an object travels along a circular path at a constant speed, the direction of motion changes continuously, implying the presence of acceleration. Hence, velocity changes due to change in direction and speed remains constant.

Explain how you will determine experimentally the position of centre of gravity for a triangular lamina (or a triangular piece of card board).
The direction of motion in circular motion :
- is linear
- is along the tangent at that point of the circular path
- towards the centre
- none of these
The direction of centripetal force is always :
- along the tangent at that point of the circular path
- towards the centre
- outwards from the centre
