Question

A body is said to be in uniform motion if __________.

• A. it has a constant acceleration
• B. it has a constant speed
• C. it is moving in a straight line
• D. (b) and (c) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D (b) and (c) above.

A body moving in a same direction with constant speed is said to be in uniform motion. Thus, uniform motion is defined as the motion of an object in which the object travels in a straight line and its speed remains constant along that line as it covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, irrespective of the duration of the time.
