How it's used
This term is strictly a technical concept borrowed from physics textbooks and is rarely used in casual daily conversation. People usually describe the same phenomenon using simpler phrases like 行得好定 or 速度冇變. It sounds overly formal or academic when used outside of a classroom or scientific context.
Examples
Common phrases
maintain constant motion
Common mistake
Learners often try to use this in everyday life to describe things moving at a steady pace, but it sounds unnatural and overly clinical. Use it only when discussing physics or mechanics.
