Uniform Motion and Non-uniform Motion

Uniform motion and non - uniform Motion are the important one in the newton's law of motion. This helps in understanding more on law of motions and its importance in our day today life.

The distances covered by car A and car B with respect to time is given below.

Car A

Time in Seconds 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35
Distance covered in meters 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70

Car B

Time in Seconds 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35
Distance covered in meters 0 5 15 20 30 60 65 75

The car A travels equal distances in equal intervals of time whereas the car B does not cover equal distances in equal intervals of time. That is, motion of car A is an example of uniform motion whereas that of car B is that of non-uniform motion.

When a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time then the body is said to describe uniform motion. When a body moves unequal distances in equal intervals of time or vice-versa, then the body is said to describe non-uniform motion.

This was the sample help to understand on Uniform Motion and Non - Uniform Motion. Hope you enjoyed reading this. I can still help you understand better on all topics on math help.
