Answer:

The correct answer is a) magnitude of particle velocity (speed) remains constant, b) particle velocity remains directed perpendicular to radius vector and c) direction of acceleration keeps changing as particle moves

A particle in uniform circular motion has the following characteristics: 1) Its speed remains constant throughout the motion; and 2) Its position remains consistent throughout the motion. Secondly, tangential acceleration is always equal to zero.
3)The magnitude of the radial acceleration remains constant throughout the simulation.

Throughout the entire uniform circular motion, the magnitude of the acceleration remains constant in magnitude.
