Solution
Step 1: Non-Uniform Motion
Non-Uniform Motion is a type of Motion in which the object travels at varying speeds.
This means that the object does not travel the same distance in the same amount of time.
In the case of rectilinear Motion, if the Motion is not consistent, the acceleration of the body will be non-zero.
Step 2: Example
Suppose a ball falls freely and moves 6 metres in the first second, 12 metres in the second, etc. As a result, a freely falling ball will travel shorter distances in the first ' 1-second' intervals and longer distances in later '1-second' intervals. As a result, the Motion of a freely falling ball is an example of non-uniform accelerated Motion.
