$(i)$ When a body is moving with uniform velocity.
$(ii)$ When a body is moving with variable velocity,but uniform acceleration.
$(iii)$ When a body is moving with variable velocity,but uniform retardation.
$(iv)$ When a body is moving with variable velocity and variable acceleration.

(N/A) The velocity-time graphs for the given situations are as follows:
$(i)$ For uniform velocity: The graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis,indicating that velocity does not change with time.
$(ii)$ For variable velocity with uniform acceleration: The graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis with a positive slope,indicating a constant rate of increase in velocity.
$(iii)$ For variable velocity with uniform retardation: The graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis with a negative slope,indicating a constant rate of decrease in velocity.
$(iv)$ For variable velocity and variable acceleration: The graph is a curve,indicating that the rate of change of velocity (acceleration) is not constant.

The following displacement-time graph shows the positions of a body at different times. Calculate the velocity of the body as it moves from: $(i) A-B, (ii) B-C, (iii) C-D$.

The driver of a train $A$ travelling at a speed of $54\, km\, h^{-1}$ applies brakes and retards the train uniformly. The train stops in $5\, s$. Another train $B$ is travelling on the parallel track with a speed of $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. This driver also applies the brakes and the train retards uniformly. The train $B$ stops in $10\, s$. Plot the speed-time graph for both the trains on the same paper. Also,calculate the distance travelled by each train after the brakes were applied.

The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero? Justify your answer.
