Why does a body engaged in uniform circular motion do no work?
It does no work because there its displacement from the center of its circular trajectory remains constant throughout the entirety of its motion. Therefore, by definition, the work done, i.e. distance traveled in the direction of the applied force (in this case the central force), is 0.
