Question

What is uniform velocity?


Open in App
Solution

Uniform Velocity

  1. If a particle moves in a constant direction and covers identical displacements in equal time intervals, regardless of how short these intervals are, and is said to flow with uniform velocity. A car driving at a speed of 10 km h-1 towards the east, for example, has uniform velocity.
  2. If a body covers an identical area in identical periods of time in an accurate direction, it is called uniform velocity, even if the time intervals are short. As a result, it's the velocity at which the same amount of units of the area is represented in each unit of time.
  3. uniform velocity can be represented as on the graph:

Example

  1. A vehicle has this kind of velocity when it travels identical distances in identical intervals of time.
  2. Every circular movement is an example, as is the movement of a fan or a clock hand.
