(N/A) $(i)$ The velocity-time graph is a straight line passing through the origin,indicating that velocity increases linearly with time. Therefore,it represents uniformly accelerated motion.
$(ii)$ The velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis,indicating that velocity remains constant over time. It represents uniform motion (zero acceleration).
$(iii)$ The velocity-time graph is a straight line with a negative slope,indicating that velocity decreases linearly with time. It represents uniformly retarded motion (uniform deceleration).
$(iv)$ The velocity-time graph is a curve with a negative slope,indicating that the rate of decrease of velocity is not constant. It represents non-uniformly retarded motion.

Two graphs for the motion of objects moving along a straight line are shown. State how the speed is changing with time in both cases.

$A$ frog hops along a straight line path from point $A$ to point $B$ in $10 \, s$ and then turns and hops to point $C$ in another $5 \, s$. Based on the provided number line,calculate the average speed and average velocity of the frog for the motion between: $(a)$ $A$ to $B$ $(b)$ $A$ to $C$ (through $B$).

The slope of a velocity-time graph gives:

$A$ body moves with a velocity of $2\, m s^{-1}$ for $5\, s$,then its velocity increases uniformly to $10\, m s^{-1}$ in the next $5\, s$. Thereafter,its velocity begins to decrease at a uniform rate until it comes to rest after $5\, s$.
