A falling object, if there is no significant air resistance, will fall faster and faster before it hits the ground. Similarly, a satellite in orbit around the Earth changes its direction, and therefore its velocity, all the time. (In physics, "velocity" describes a speed at a certain direction.)

What is a difference between Uniform and Non-Uniform Motion in four points?

Uniform motion is when an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, while non-uniform motion is when the object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time. In uniform motion, the speed remains constant throughout, whereas in non-uniform motion, the speed changes at different points. The graph of uniform motion is a straight line, showing constant speed, while the graph of non-uniform motion is curved, indicating varying speed. Examples of uniform motion include a car moving at a constant speed on a highway, while an accelerating car or a falling object are examples of non-uniform motion.


Examples of uniform and non uniform motion?

2 conditions for uniform motion: a) constant speed; b) constant direction (no turning). If either of these conditions isn't there, then the motion is "non-uniform" or "accelerated". Examples of uniform motion: a car in a drag race reaching and maintaining its maximum speed on a straight and flat race course; a space craft drifting between two galaxies; (very few real-life examples). Examples of non-uniform motion: a racing horse; merry-go-around; swing; automotive braking; throwing a softball; etc. ================================


What is the other name of non-uniform motion?

"Non-uniform" motion is "accelerated" motion.


What is non uniform motion?

Non-uniform motion refers to the type of motion where the speed or direction of an object is changing over time. In non-uniform motion, the object is not moving at a constant speed or in a straight line. Instead, its velocity is varying, and it may be accelerating or decelerating.


Which type of motion uniform or non uniform is exhibited by a freely falling ball?

Non uniform


What is net acceleration in a non uniform motion?

For uniform motion, the acceleration is zero. For non-uniform motion, the acceleration is something different than zero - at least, most of the time.


Types of motion?

uniform and non uniform motion uniform motion [ equal distance in equal intervals of time is known as uniform motion] non uniform motion [equal distance at unequal intervals of time is known as non uniform motion]


What is the Distinguish between uniform and non uniform motion?

In uniform motion, the velocity of the object is constant: both in magnitude and in direction. In non-uniform one or other (or both) of these will vary.


What do you mean by uniform and non uniform motion?

HEYAnswer:"Uniform" motion is motion with a constant speed in a straight line. Speed ordirection are not changing.If a body moving along straight line travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time, the body is said to be in Non uniform motion


WHAT IS THE MEANING OF NON UNIFORM MOTION?

Non-uniform motion refers to an object moving at varying speeds and/or changing direction during its motion. This means that the object's velocity is not constant, unlike uniform motion where the velocity remains the same throughout.


Define non uniform motion?

Think of uniform as everything moving together. For example, in uniform circular motion describes the motion of a body traversing a circular path at constant speed. The distance of the body from the axis of rotation remains constant at all times. If the motion was non-uniform the distance of the body from the axis of rotation would vary.
