state two difference between uniform and non uniform speed
Answers
Explanation:
UNIFORM SPEED - DEFINITION
Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving at a given instant of time. It is a scalar quantity. Its unit is m/s.
For a body covering equal distances in equal time intervals, the speed is called uniform speed
NON-UNIFORM SPEED AND VELOCITY - DEFINITION
concept
Non-Uniform Speed : When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, then that body is said to be in non uniform speed.
For e.g., an object thrown into air, like stone, moves at non-uniform speed, lift used to go up or down in a building.
Non-Uniform Velocity : When the velocity is not uniform i.e. not constant. This implies that the velocity of the object moving with non uniform velocity is either increasing or decreasing with time i.e. the object is accelerating or decelerating.
Since velocity is a vector quantity, hence it depends on two factors namely speed and direction.
If any of the two will change, velocity will also get changed.
So, we can say that the object is moving with non uniform velocity, if an object is :
1. changing speed wrt time but in the same direction.
2. changing direction wrt time while moving with constant speed.( e.g., motion of a particle in a circular path with constant speed)
3. changing both speed and direction wrt time.
Answer:
If an object covers equal distance in equal interval of time, then time speed graph of an object is a straight line parallel to time axis then body is moving with a uniform speed. Non-uniform speed : If the speed of a body is changing with respect to time it is moving with a non-uniform speed.
