alleryFor uniform motion, the velocity at all instants equals the:
AAbsolute velocity
BAverage velocity
CAngular velocity
DApparent velocity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Average velocity
1. Uniform motion means the velocity never changes.
2. A constant value is its own average.
3. For uniform motion, velocity is the same as the average velocity at all instants.
4. So the answer is the average velocity.
