Question
When will you say a body is at uniform acceleration?
Solution
- A body is said to have uniform acceleration if it travels in a straight path in such a way that its velocity changes at a uniform rate.
- i.e., the velocity of a body increases or decreases by equal amounts in an equal interval of time.
