Answer :

Uniform Motion
1.Type of motion in which an object covers an equal distance in an equal interval of time
2. It is similar to the speed of the object
3.Uniform Motion has zero acceleration

4.A truck moving with a speed of 20 m/s. This means that the truck covers 20 meters in 1 second. The speed is uniform every second.
5.Motion of moon around the earth.
6.The distance-time graph shows a straight line inclined on the x-axis.
Non- Uniform Motion
1.Type of motion is when an object covers an unequal distance in an equal time interval
2.It is different from the speed of the object
3.It has as non-zero acceleration.
4.A car travels 10 meters in the first five seconds and covers 20 meters in the next 5 seconds. Here the distance changes every 5 seconds.
5. A car moving in a crowded market.
6.The distance-time graph shows a curved line. It can also be a zig-zag.
