Question

Distinguish between uniform and non-uniform motion.

May 31, 2024

Answer

If a body covers equal distance in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in a uniform motion. For example, a car moving along a straight line. If a body covers unequal distance in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in non-uniform motion. For example, a racing horse.
