  1. Explanation:

    Uniform Motion:

    In a uniform motion, the body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. That means it has a constant velocity over the given period of time. By looking at the x – t, and v – t graph we can say what kind of motion it is. First, we will take x – t graph:

    the slope is constant. Therefore,

    Change in displacement/Change in time = Constant

    So the motion is uniform. Similarly, if we take a v – t graph and the plot is horizontal or parallel to the time axis then the motion is uniform as it covers equal distance in equal interval of time.

    Non-uniform motion:

    As the name suggests that a motion in which the body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time is known as a non-uniform motion. Let’s see the following v – t graph:

    We know are under v – t graph represents displacement of the body. As we can see for the same time interval the area under A and B are different. So this is a non-uniform motion. So with respect to non-uniform motion we usually define average velocity. The average velocity formula is:

    Average Velocity = Change in displacement/Time Taken

    From the equation of motion,

    Displacement = ut + 12at2

    Average Velocity = ut + 12at2t

    = u + at2

    From first equation of motion,

    Average velocity = u + v − u2

    Average Velocity = v + u2

    Where, v = Final Velocity

    u = Initial Velocity

    Similarly, we can define average speed. The formula for average speed is given us:

    Average speed = Change in distance/Time Taken
