Answer

(i) uniform
Reason — As the graph shows the linear relationship between displacement and time i.e., the car travels equal distance in equal intervals of time in a certain direction. Thus, it is moving with uniform motion.

(ii) 10 ms-1
Reason — As, velocity is the ratio of displacement and time, therefore,

Velocity=Slope of straight line AC=(6030) m(52) s=30 m3 s=10 m s1\text{Velocity} = \text{Slope of straight line AC} \\[0.5em] = \dfrac{(60 - 30) \text{ m}}{(5 - 2) \text{ s}} \\[0.5em] = \dfrac{30 \text{ m}}{3 \text{ s}} \\[0.5em] = 10 \text{ m s}^{-1}

(iii) 40 m
Reason — When we observe the graph, we notice that at t = 3 s, the displacement axis shows 40 m, hence, displacement at t = 3 s is 40 m
