Explain the terms uniform and non-uniform motions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Uniform motion :
1) If a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, assuming the direction of motion is constant, then the motion is said to be uniform motion.
2) The motion of a body is said to be uniform when its velocity is constant.
3) The s - t graph for a uniform motion is a straight line.
4) Ex : Motion of hands in a clock.
Non-uniform motion :
1) If a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, assuming the direction of motion is constant, then the motion is said to be non-uniform motion.
2) A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if its velocity changes with time.
3) The s - t graph for non-uniform motion is not a straight line.
4) Ex : Motion of a car/bus between two stations on a road.

Describe uniform motion.

(A): The equations of motion in scalar form can be applied only if acceleration and velocity are along the same line. (R): If the acceleration of a body is constant then its motion is known as uniform motion.

(A): A body may be moving with uniform speed and non uniform acceleration. (R): A body may have uniform velocity and nonzero acceleration.

The shape of a S - t graph for a non - uniform motion always be
