Question

Question:The data regarding the motion of two different objects P &Q is given in the following table. Examine them carefully and state whether the motion of the objects is uniform or non-uniform motion. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

P is in uniform motion while Q is in non-uniform motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

We can see that the object P covers a distance of 10 m in every fifteen minutes. In other words, it covers equal distance in equal interval of time. So, the motion of object P is uniform. On the other hand, the object Q covers 7 m from 9:30 am to 9:45 am, 4 m from 9:45 am to 10:00 am, and so on. In other words, it covers unequal distance in equal interval of time. So, the motion of object Q is non-uniform.
