Question

what is uniform and non - uniform motion? ​

Answer 1

Uniform Motion:

• When a particle covers equal distance in equal amounts of time, it is said to have a uniform motion.
• Graph: Straight line.
• Example: Cars on constant speed on a straight path.
• (Rare)

Non - uniform Motion:

• When a particle covers unequal distance in equal amounts of time it is said to have a non - uniform motion.

(Or, when an object covers equal distance in unequal intervals of time is also can be defined as non - uniform motion.)

• Graph: Any shape.
• Example: Object on free fall (constant acceleration).
• (Common)

Answer 2

Answer:

when a body moves along a straight line with uniform speed it is called uniform motion.

when a body moves along a straight line but with variable or change in speed it is known as non uniform motion.
