The velocity of an object moving in a circular path is always tangent to the radius of the circle. This means that the velocity is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle. The direction of the velocity is always changing, but the magnitude of the velocity remains constant. The acceleration of the object is directed towards the center of the circle, which is known as centripetal acceleration.
