If a body covers unequal distances in equal distances intervals of time, its motion is called ‘non-uniform motion’.
Even if a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time but it changes its direction, still its motion is said to be ‘non-uniform’.
In the figure, the motion of this cyclist is non-uniform; she is covering unequal distances in equal intervals of time. Hence, If a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, its motion is called non-uniform motion.
