What is uniform acceleration?

When an object is travelling in a straight line with an increase in velocity at equal intervals of time,
then the object is said to be in uniform acceleration. Free falling of an object is an example of uniform
acceleration.

EQUATIONS:
a = v/t
d = Vf t + ½ a (t)2
Vf = Vi + at
d = ( Vf + Vi ) t
