Question

Write the difference between uniform and non-uniform motion?


Open in App
Solution

Difference between Uniform and Non-Uniform Motion:

Uniform motionNon-uniform motion
1. It is a motion characterized as the movement of the body, in which the body moves linearly and occupies equidistance at the same time duration, so its velocity does not vary with the line regardless of the length of time. 1. It is described as the motion of a body that travels at different velocities and does not cover the same distance at the same time duration, regardless of the length of the time duration.
2. Uniform motion has zero acceleration.2. The non-uniform motion has non-zero acceleration.
3. Uniform motion travels an equal distance at an equal time duration.3. Non-uniform motion travels unequal distances at equal time duration.
4. The uniform motion is the same as the actual speed of the object.4. The non-uniform motion is not the same as the actual speed of the object.
5. In uniform motion, the distance to time graph shows a straight line.5. In non-uniform motion, the distance to time graph shows a curved line.

Examples:

  1. If the speed of the truck is 20m/s, it means that the truck moves 20meterspersecond. The speed of the body does not vary every second.
  2. Movement of the Ceiling fan blade.

Examples:

  1. The bus moves 20meters in the first 5seconds and 10meters in the next 2seconds.
  2. The movement of the train.

Given diagram below shows uniform and non-uniform motion:
