When a body moves with a constant speed along a circle,

• no work is done on it.

• no force acts on the body.

• its velocity remains constant.

• no acceleration is produced in the body.

If the body is moving in a circle of radius r with a constant speed v, its angular velocity is

• v² / r

• vr

• v / r

• r / v
