What is the difference between Translatory motion and Uniform motion?

The motion in which all the particles of a body move through the same distance in the same time is called translatory motion. There are two types of translatory motions: rectilinear motion; curvilinear motion.

Uniform motion is the kind of motion in which a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. It does not matter how small the time intervals are, as long as the distances covered are equal.

If a body is involved in rectilinear motion and the motion is uniform, then the acceleration of the body must be zero.

Example: If the speed of a car is 10 m/s, it means that the car covers 10 meters in one second.
