Answer
(i) The acceleration is said to be uniform (or constant) when equal changes in velocity take place in equal intervals of time.
Example — The motion of a body under gravity (e.g., free fall of a body)
(ii) If changes in velocity are not same in the same intervals of time, the acceleration is said to be non-uniform.
Example — The motion of a vehicle on a crowded road.
