B. Uniform and non-uniform motion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 dismenent

2. unimotion

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Distance is the scaler measurement of the length covered by an object.

2. Displacement - it is a vector measurement of the distance covered by an object. Or it is shortest distance covered by an object.

Explanation.

Uniform motion is a type of motion that is characterized as the motion of an object wherein the object moves in a straight line and its velocity remains unchanged along that line, regardless of the duration of time, as it occupies equal distances at equal time intervals.

Examples:

If a car’s speed is 10 m/s, it implies that in one second the car covers 10 meters. The speed is unchanged in each second.

Movement of the ceiling fan’s blades.

Non-uniform motion is described as the motion of an object wherein the object moves at different speeds and does not cover the same distance at equal time intervals, regardless of the duration of the time interval.

Examples:

If in the first two seconds, a car occupies 10 meters and in the next two seconds it covers15 meters.

A train’s movement.
