"Uniform acceleration" means that acceleration doesn't change over time - usually for a fairly short time that you are considering. This is the case, for example, when an object drops under Earth's gravity - and air resistance is insignificant. "Non-uniform acceleration", of course, means that acceleration does change over time.

When will you say a body is in uniform acceleration non uniform acceleration?

Uniform (or constant) acceleration means that the acceleration doesn't change over time.


How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?

If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.


If an object is moving at unifrom acceleration what is its velocity?

A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.


What is uniform velocity?

A body is said to move with uniform velocity if it has no acceleration. This implies that the body moves with a constant speed along a straight line path. This also means that the body moves with equal displacements in equal intervals of time, however small these time intervals may be.


What does it mean to sat that the net force determines an objects acceleration?

There are many forces acting on a body. But, the moves because of the net force acting on it. So, we can say that the body accelerates because of net force acting on it only.

What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?

If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.


When do you say a body is in variable acceleration?

That simply means that the acceleration changes over time.


Theory about uniformly accelerated motion?

From a kinematic perspective, just observing the motion of an object, we can say that an object is experiencing uniform acceleration if the magnitude of the object's velocity changes at a constant rate but maintains the same direction. From a dynamic perspective, as a consequence of Newton's second law, we know that whenever the net force on an object is constant (in magnitude and direction) the object will undergo uniform acceleration.


In order for an object to move in uniform circular motion it must be accelerating?

Yes as a body moves along a circular path with uniform speed, its direction is ever changing. Hence the velocity is changing. So acceleration must be present. If acceleration vector is in the direction of the velocity then definitely its magnitude would change and so we cannot say the motion to be uniform. So the acceleration has to be perpendicular to the velocity vector, so it has to be along the radius. Hence the acceleration is named as radial acceleration. The force thus produced is known as centripetal force ie centre seeking force.

When it's velocity is unaffected by external circumstances

What is the force that opposes?

Friction.Called inertia. To accelerate a body the force is mass times acceleration. No force = no acceleration. People say " the force is opposed by the massacceleration"


Will it be correct to say that the car moving in a circular path with constant speed has uniform acceleration?

Well, it depends on the environment, but say we are in the most perfect environment, flat, constant friction, no air resistance, no resistance on the car's internal workings, then yes, but say it was going 30 Km/h, then it would keep accelerating until it reached 30, then it would just keep moving at 30 Km/h


How acceleration occur in a straight pattern?

It just does, in the absence of other forces ( ie air and rolling resistance ), that is to say under ideal conditions, a constant force on a fixed mass will produce uniform acceleration (velocity change) acceleration ( (m/s)/s ) = force (newtons) / mass (kg)
