Question

When will you say a body is in (i) uniform acceleration? (ii) non-uniform acceleration?

Answer 1

Uniform acceleration:

1. When a body is changing its velocity at a constant rate i.e. equal change in velocity in an equal interval of time, then the body is said to be moving with uniform acceleration.
2. Example: the free-falling of an object.

Non-uniform acceleration:

1. When a body is changing its velocity at different rates, then the body is said to be moving with non-uniform acceleration.
2. Example: The bus is leaving from the stop.
