Question
Differentiate between uniform acceleration and variable acceleration.
Advertisements
Solution
The acceleration is said to be uniform when equal changes in velocity take place in equal intervals of time, but if the change in velocity is not the same in the same intervals of time, the acceleration is said to be variable.
