Step-by-step explanation:

Going around a Ferris wheel without stopping is an example of uniform circular motion. In a circular motion, the objects moves with constant speed but its velocity is continuously changing because of changing direction.

The force acting when the object when it is moving in a circular motion is called centripetal force. The direction of both force and acceleration is inwards.

Hence, "going around a Ferris wheel without stopping" is an example of uniform circular motion.
