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, 4m 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.
The table given below shows distance (n cm) travelled by bodies A, B and C. Read this data carefully and answer the following questions. Distance (in cm) covered by different bodies.
Time in (s) | Body (A) | Body (B) | Body (C) |
1stSecond | 20 | 20 | 20 |
2ndSecond | 20 | 36 | 60 |
3rdSecond | 20 | 24 | 100 |
4thSecond | 20 | 30 | 140 |
5thSecond | 20 | 48 | 180 |
