Lucia wants to change the motion map shown so that it shows uniform circular motion.

Question illustration
A
She should change the length of each vector that is tangent to the circle so that it is the same as the vector pointing toward the center at that point.
B
She should change the direction of the vectors that are toward the center of the circle so that each points tangent to the circle opposite the existing tangent vectors.
C
She should change the direction of the vectors that are toward the center of the circle so that each points away from the center of the circle.
D
She should change the lengths of the vectors that point toward the center so that each is the same length.
