No, a body changing its direction of velocity cannot be in uniformly accelerated motion. Uniformly accelerated motion refers to the motion of an object where the acceleration remains constant throughout the entire motion.

When a body changes its direction of velocity, it experiences a change in acceleration. This change in acceleration means that the body is not moving with a constant acceleration, and therefore, it cannot be considered uniformly accelerated motion.

Uniformly accelerated motion occurs when the magnitude and direction of acceleration remain constant. In such cases, the body's velocity changes by a constant amount over equal intervals of time. However, when the direction of velocity changes, the acceleration vector also changes, resulting in a non-uniform acceleration.
