uniform motion and non uniform motion

Uniform Motion and Non Uniform Motion Uniform Motion: Definition:  This type of motion is defined as the motion of an object in which the object travels in a straight line, and its velocity remains constant along that line as it covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, irrespective of the duration of the time. Example of Uniform Motion: If the speed of a car is 10 m/s, it means that the car covers 10 meters in one second.  The speed is constant every second. Movement of blades of a ceiling  Non Uniform Motion: Definition:  This type of motion is defined as the motion of an object in which the object travels with varied speed and it does not cover the same distance in equal time intervals, irrespective of the time interval duration. Example of Non Uniform Motion: If a car covers 10 meters in the first two seconds and 15 meters in the next two seconds. The motion of a train.

Newtons law of motion

What are Newton’s Laws of Motion? An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first. Sir Isaac Newton worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. He developed the theories of gravitation in 1666 when he was only 23 years old. In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the “Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis.” By developing his three laws of motion, Newton revolutionized science. Newton’s laws together with Kepler’s Laws explained why planets move in elliptical orbits rather than in circles. Below is a short movie featuring Orville and Wilbur Wright and a discussion about how Newton’s Laws of Motion applied to the flight of their aircraft Newton’s Firs...
