Ans :

                 Uniform motion             Non-uniform motion
    Covers equal distance at equal time     Covers unequal distance at equal time 
Average speed is equal to the actual speed of an object Average speed is different from the actual speed of an object
The Distance-time graph shows a straight line The Distance-time graph shows a curve
In a uniform circular motion, work done by the tangential force is zero In a non-uniform circular motion, work done by the tangential force is not zero
Uniform rectilinear motion has zero acceleration Non-uniform rectilinear motion has non-zero acceleration
In a uniform circular motion, the speed will always be constant In a non-uniform circular motion, the speed will increase or decrease
