Question

(a) The motion of a body with respect to other body

(b) Uniformly accelerated

(c) Non-uniformly accelerated

(d) Motion along a curve

I have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This intriguing question comes from Motion in a Straight Line in division Motion in a Straight Line of Physics – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Uniformly accelerated

The best explanation: The three equations of motion are valid for uniformly accelerated motion. The equations do not work in situations where the acceleration is non-uniform. In that case it is better to work with the differential forms of velocity and acceleration.
