The motion of the body moving along a circular path is an example of _____.

accelerated motion

The correct answer is option 2. accelerated motion.

The motion of a body moving along a circular path is an example of accelerated motion.

When an object moves along a circular path, its velocity changes continuously in direction even if its magnitude (speed) remains constant. Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, the change in direction of velocity constitutes acceleration. Therefore, the motion of a body moving along a circular path is an example of accelerated motion.
