What is the difference between uniform and non-uniform motion?

2 February, 2022

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
