Circular motion is the movement of an object around the circumference of a circle or the rotation of an object along a circular path. The force acts continuously at right angles to the particle's velocity.

Uniform circular motion is defined as circular motion in which the particle's speed remains constant.

Force provides centripetal acceleration in a uniform circular motion.

If force F acts on a body and it moves by a distance of S, the work done is given by:

W = FS Cosθ

In the case of uniform circular motion, as the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other Cos 90o =0 and that is why W = 0.
