Physics
Distinguish between uniform and non-uniform motions, giving an example of each.
Answer
| Uniform motion | Non-uniform motion |
|---|---|
| If a moving body travels equal distances in equal intervals of time, its motion is said to be uniform. | If a moving body travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time, its motion is said to be non-uniform. |
| Example — A car covering same distance in same interval of time at constant speed in a straight line. | Example — Motion of a bicycle in a busy road. |
