Question

What is uniform motion and non-uniform motion? Give examples.

Answer 1

Uniform Motion

Uniform motion describes the movement of an object along a straight line at a constant speed. Because it goes the very same distance in the same period of time, the body's velocity stays unchanged. In the case of uniform rectilinear motion, the body's acceleration would be 0. In this situation, the object's average speed would be the same as its genuine speed.

Example:

1. A car going at a constant speed,
2. a boy sprinting in a straight line at a constant speed,
3. The earth's rotation around the sun
4. Vibrating springs are used in sewing machines.

Non-Uniform Motion

The term "non-uniform motion" refers to when an item moves at varying speeds. This means the item doesn't really cover the identical distance in the same period of time. If the motion is not consistent in rectilinear motion, the object's acceleration will be non-zero. Non-uniform motion is also known as accelerated motion.

Example:

1. An oscillation in the vehicle's motion of a swing.
2. A bouncy ball
3. Movement of asteroids
4. An airplane's flight into the clouds and landing
5. A collision between two cars
