In uniform circular motion, while the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, its direction continually changes to keep the object moving in a circle. Similarly, the acceleration, which is directed towards the center of the circle (centripetal acceleration), also continually changes direction as the object moves, ensuring it remains in circular motion.
