How it works
Uniform motion means constant velocity: position grows linearly with time, x = vt. Uniformly accelerated motion from rest means x = ½at² and v = at — velocity grows linearly while position grows quadratically. On a short track the uniform object may lead; with enough time, acceleration wins.
Key equations
Uniform: x = vt, v = const
From rest: x = ½at², v = at
