Q. A particle is moving along a circular path with a constant speed. The acceleration of the particle is constant in

Solution:

For constant speed along circular path acceleration is centripetal which is constant in magnitude $a_{c}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}$ and always directed towards the center so the direction changes continuously.
