Question

Differtiate between uniform and nonuniform motion. In which case does the speed remains constant

Answer 1

The basic difference between uniform and non-uniform motion is that the former represents the motion in which the moving body covers the same distance in the same time, but in the case of latter, the body travels unequal distances at the same time.

There are millions of objects surrounding us, some of them stay at rest while others are in motion. In our day to day life, you have noticed the motion of different living and non-living things that are on the move like birds, fishes, cars, buses, trains etc. A body is believed to be in motion when there is a change in its position with respect to time. It can be of two types, i.e. uniform motion and non-uniform motion.

The already available 4 answers are correct. In uniform circular motion the speed remains constant and also the speed is a scalar quantity only with magnitude. But the velocity changes in circulation motion. Velocity being a vector quantity, involving both magnitude and direction, due to the direction change at every instance we call the circular motion as an accelerating motion.

Answer 2

A body is said to be in uniform motion when it covers equal distance in equal interval of time. in this type of motion speed remain constant

A body is said to be in non uniform motion when it covers unequal distance in equal interval of time
