Question

How do you define uniform acceleration?

Answer 1

1. Uniform acceleration :
2. The acceleration of a body is said to be uniform if its velocity changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of time .
3. Example:

1. Free falling of an object.
2. Consider a body moving along a straight line, and let the velocity at a point 0 be 10$\frac{m}{s}$, when the stop watch started, the velocity of the body is found to be 12 $\frac{m}{s}$,14 $\frac{m}{s}$,16$\frac{m}{s}$ and 18$\frac{m}{s}$, while at A, B, C, and D at time 1,2,3 and 4 seconds respectively.
3. It is clear that in each interval of 1s the velocity changes by 2 $\frac{m}{s}$.
4. Such a body is said to be in uniform acceleration.
