NEET Physics Uniform & Non-uniform Motion MCQ Question
Which of the following statements correctly characterize uniform and non-uniform motion?
In uniform motion, the speed of the object remains constant, while in non-uniform motion, the speed varies over time.
Uniform motion can be represented by a straight line on a distance-time graph, whereas non-uniform motion cannot be represented in this way.
In non-uniform motion, the area under the velocity-time graph is always less than the displacement.
An object in uniform motion experiences acceleration due to gravity, similar to an object in non-uniform motion.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A correctly describes that uniform motion has constant speed, while non-uniform motion involves changing speed. Statement B is misleading as non-uniform motion can still be represented on a distance-time graph, just not as a straight line. Statement C is incorrect since the area under the velocity-time graph represents total displacement, and Statement D is false because uniform motion means no acceleration.
