Why is the motion of an athlete moving along a circular path considered an accelerated motion?

  • A
    Because the speed of the athlete changes.
  • B
    Because the direction of motion changes continuously.
  • C
    Because the athlete is running on a track.
  • D
    Because the athlete is moving at a constant speed.
