Quick Answer: The Uniform Linear Motion Apparatus is a kinematics set for showing straight-line motion at constant velocity, where an object covers equal distances in equal times. Students mark equal intervals along the track with the scale and time each one.

Key Features
Straight track with a measuring scale for marking equal distance intervals
Support base, levelled before use
Time readings taken with a separate laboratory timer
Used for distance-time graphs, speed and velocity
About This Product
With the track levelled, the moving object runs along the straight path while the time for each marked interval is recorded. Equal times for equal distances confirm uniform motion, and the readings give a straight distance-time graph from which the speed is found and compared with non-uniform motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is uniform motion confirmed with this apparatus?
Equal distance intervals are marked along the track and the time to cover each is recorded; equal times for equal distances, and a straight distance-time graph, show uniform motion.
