An unchanging or uniform acceleration is the simplest form of accelerated motion.

Under uniform acceleration, the G-forces you feel will be consistent. If, under uniform acceleration from a standing start, you have accelerated to 10 mph in 5 seconds, you will have reached 20 mph in 10 seconds, 30 mph in 15 seconds, etc.

Mathematically speaking, the acceleration is a constant. For example, acceleration due to gravity is a constant.

To find the velocity at a time t, integrate the acceleration. To find the distance travelled, integrate again.

For example, an object undergoing constant acceleration due to gravity:
a(t) = -9.8 ft/sec²
v(t) = -9.8t ft/sec
d(t) = -4.9t² ft

Uniform just means constant. Like from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds and then 60 to 120 in another 5 seconds would be uniform, but 0 to 60 in 5 seconds and then 60 to 120 in 15 seconds would not be.

Adding to those other fine answers, if the acceleration of an object is uniform (or constant), the time derivative of the acceleration will be zero. In words, the accerlation does not change over time.

It is the state of motion of an object whose rate of speed-change is constant.

That means, every passing second, the object's speed increases always by the same amount. (In the case of negative acceleration, the speed would decrease by the same amount every passing second.)

For example, a car is at rest and starts accelerating.
One second into the movement, it's going at 6 mph.
Two seconds into the movement, it's going at 12 mph.
Three seconds into the movement, it's going at 18 mph.
Four seconds into the movement, it's going at 24 mph.
And so on.
We would say that that car's acceleration is uniform: it accelerates by 6 mph every second.

The acceleration is equal during all the process, like the gravity.

uniform acceleration = every second the velocity grows with a constant amount.

when the distance covered is increased directly and evenly proportionate to the increase in speed sans stops, slows, reverses or intermittent levveling off of speed.
