Question

A boy covers 6 metres in the first 10 seconds and another 6 metres in the next 10 seconds at same speed in the same direction. What can you surely tell about the motion of the boy?

• A. Non-uniform motion
• B. Uniform motion
• C. The boy is at rest
• D. Curvilinear motion

Answer 1

The correct option is B Uniform motion

Uniform motion is when object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time in the same direction.

In this case, the boy covers equal distances in equal intervals of time because his speed does not change.
Also, his direction does not change.

Therefore, the motion of the boy is an example for uniform motion.
