A body is moving with uniform angular velocity. Is it moving with uniform velocity also?

Answer

Velocity is a vector quantity and it will change if the direction of motion changes, even if the speed is constant.
When the body moves with uniform angular velocity, the direction of motion continuously changes. Therefore, the body is not moving with a uniform velocity.
