An object moving in uniform circular motion is
moving around the perimeter of the circle with a
constant speed. While the speed of object is
constant, its velocity is changing. Velocity being a
vector quantity has a constant magnitude but a
changing direction. The direction is always
directed tangent line is always pointing in a new
direction. Also when it is moving in circular
motion towards the centre, hence acceleration is
perpendicular to velocity.
