Uniform Motion and Non-uniform Motion Example

 

Car A

Back to Top

Time in seconds	0	5	10	15	20	25	30	35
Distance covered in meters	0	10	20	30	40	50	60	70

Car B

Back to Top

Time in seconds	0	5	10	15	20	25	30	35
Distance covered in meters	0	5	15	20	30	60	65	75

The car A travels equal distances in equal intervals of time whereas the car B does not cover equal distances in equal intervals of time. That is, motion of car A is an example of uniform motion whereas that of car B is that of non-uniform motion.

When a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time then the body is said to describe uniform motion.

When a body moves unequal distances in equal intervals of time or vice-versa, then the body is said to describe non-uniform motion.
