PASSAGE-I : A body is said to be in motion when its position changes continuously with respect to a stationary object taken as reference point. A body has a uniform motion if it travels equal distance in equal intervals of time, no matter how small these time intervals may be. The distance-time graph for uniform motion is a straight line. A body has a non-uniform motion if it travels unequal distance in equal intervals of time. The distance-time graph for a body having non-uniform motion is a curved line.
Motion of a freely falling body is an example of

A

uniform motion

B

non-uniform motion

C

circular motion

D

rotational motion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
