@mihirb : did you read the question well when you answered it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a because if it is a iniform velocity there is no acceleration or speed in the time allotted

Sorry, but this is not the right answer...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mihirb and @zrock16 Think of this.. the velocity cannot be constant, cause its a CIRCULAR MOTION.. and thus, the direction is changing.. direction is changing, and so velocity is changing, and so tehre is acceleration .. yea?
