Physics-Uniform & Non-uniform Motion

NEET Physics Uniform & Non-uniform Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following combinations correctly describes uniform and non-uniform motion?

A

Uniform motion involves constant speed and direction; non-uniform motion involves changes in speed or direction.

B

Uniform motion can only occur in a straight line; non-uniform motion can only occur in curves.

C

In uniform motion, the acceleration is zero; in non-uniform motion, the acceleration is always positive.

D

Uniform motion results in a linear position-time graph; non-uniform motion results in a curved position-time graph.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Uniform motion is characterized by constant speed and direction, while non-uniform motion is defined by variations in speed or direction. This aligns with the definitions provided in the NCERT context for motion.
