in uniform linear motion velocity is constant. in uniform circular motion velocity is not constant it has an acceleration in the direction to the centre of circular path.

Uniform linear motion position can be described by x0+v*t where as in uniform circular motion the angular position is described by s=omega*t and the position is described by r=r(cosθi+sinθj) in the second case the acceleration is constantly changing due to the changing direction of the velocity vector

In uniform linear motion the acceleration is constant and in uniform circular motion acceleration is a variable(directed along the centre of the circular path) since the velocity vector is a variable in direction.
