The example of uniform motion, as used in Newton’s First Law, is:
An air hockey puck slides across a table at constant speed.
This scenario illustrates uniform motion, as the puck is moving at a constant speed without acceleration or deceleration. Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
