UNIFORM

, or Equable Motion, is that by which a body passes always with the same celerity, or over equal spaces in equal times. See Motion.

In Uniform motions, the spaces described or passed over, are in the compound ratio of the times and velocities; but the spaces are simply as the times, when the velocity is given; and as the velocities, when the time is given. |

Uniform Matter, in Natural Philosophy, is that which is all of the same kind and texture.
