Something that has variable motion travels different distances/ speed in equal periods of time. Going uphill, Roller Coasters are sort of slow but going downhill, the roller coaster starts to accelerate. The roller coaster takes the same track every time and only goes through it once so, it has equal time periods. By traveling at 2 different speeds during equal time periods, you have variable motion.
