In uniform circular motion, the direction of motion of the object changes continuously as it moves along the circular path. At each point on the circle, the object’s velocity vector is tangent to the circle, indicating the direction of its instantaneous motion.

In uniform circular motion, the direction of motion continuously changes due to the centripetal force acting towards the center of the circle. Although the speed remains constant, the object’s velocity vector continually rotates, resulting in a curved path. This change in direction ensures circular motion rather than linear motion.
