Uniform Velocity
* Definition: Uniform velocity means an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed. There's no change in the object's speed or direction.
* Key Features:
* Constant Speed: The object covers the same distance in equal intervals of time.
* Straight Line Motion: The object doesn't change direction.
* Example: A car traveling at a steady 60 miles per hour on a straight highway.
Uniform Acceleration
* Definition: Uniform acceleration means an object's velocity changes by the same amount in every equal interval of time. It's about how quickly the velocity changes.
* Key Features:
* Constant Rate of Change: The velocity increases or decreases at a steady pace.
* Can be in a Straight Line: The acceleration can be in the same direction as the velocity (speeding up) or in the opposite direction (slowing down).
* Example: A car accelerating from rest at a constant rate of 5 meters per second squared.
Important Points to Remember
* Velocity vs. Speed: Velocity includes both speed and direction. Uniform velocity means constant speed *and* constant direction.
* Acceleration can be Zero: An object at rest or moving with uniform velocity has zero acceleration.
