Question

If an object is undergoing unequal distances in equal intervals of time on a straight path, such motion is termed as:

• A. uniform linear motion
• B. non-uniform linear motion
• C. circular motion
• D. periodic motion

Answer 1

The correct option is B non-uniform linear motion

Since object is travelling in a straight path, it is undergoing a linear motion. Also the distance travelled in equal intervals of time is not the same, it is a non-uniform linear motion.
In a circular motion, object travels in a circular path.
In a periodic motion object passes through a certain point repeatedly after a fixed interval of time.
