A body is said to move with uniform velocity if it has no acceleration. This implies that the body moves with a constant speed along a straight line path.

This also means that the body moves with equal displacements in equal intervals of time, however small these time intervals may be.

How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?

If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.


If an object is moving at unifrom acceleration what is its velocity?

A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.


Can an object maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero?

No, an object cannot maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero. If an object is accelerating, its velocity will be changing over time, so it cannot maintain a constant velocity. Uniform velocity means the speed and direction of the object remains constant.


Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?

The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be zero.


How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?

Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)

What is the difference between uniform velocity and on uniform velocity?

I assume you mean "non-uniform". "Uniform" simply means that the velocity (in this case) doesn't change.


What is the formula for uniform velocity?

velocity is a vector quantity. Its magnitude is given by (velocity)= (distance)/(time)


What is the acceleratipn of a body with uniform velocity and why?

The acceleration of a body with uniform velocity is zero because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is constant, then there is no change in velocity over time, so the acceleration is zero.

What is the difference between uniform and variable velocity?

Uniform velocity is constant speed in a straight line, while variable velocity changes in speed or direction over time. Uniform velocity has no acceleration, whereas variable velocity may have acceleration due to changes in speed or direction.


Why is acceleration zero with uniform velocity?

Uniform velocity means the velocity is not changing. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If velocity isn't changing, the rate of change is zero.


What is varaible velocity?

Non uniform velocity is known as variable velocity.


An example of uniform motion in a straight line in which velocity is changing at uniform rate?

An object moving along a straight line with increasing velocity in a uniform manner is an example of uniform motion with changing velocity at a uniform rate. This could occur if a car accelerates at a constant rate along a straight road.


When will the average velocity be equal to instantaneous velocity?

In uniform motion.


When will the average velocity be equl to instantaneous velocity?

In uniform motion.


What is uniform velocity and uniform accelration?

If a car moving in a straight line travels equal distance in equal time no matter how small these distances may be, the car is said to be moving with a CONSTANT or Uniform Velocity.


When a body has uniform velocity?

When a body has uniform velocity, it is moving in a straight line at a constant speed. This means that the magnitude and direction of its velocity remain constant over time. uniform velocity implies no acceleration present in the motion of the body.
