What is the difference between uniform and constant velocity? Is acceleration zero in the case of both constant and uniform velocity?
Definition
The difference between uniform and constant velocity
Uniform velocity | Constant velocity |
| 1. Constant velocity is the velocity whose direction as well as magnitude remains constant |
2. Example: An object traveling northward at a speed of 10 km/h. | 2. Example: A automobile traveling at a steady pace will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. |
When an object is moving in a straight line, without any acceleration. No change in speed or direction is experienced. and change in velocity for any time interval is zero.
