$(a)$ Uniformly accelerated motion.

$(b)$ Acceleration is given by the slope of speedtime graph, i.e., $a=(0-60) /(80-60)$ $=-3 m s ^{-2}$

$(c)$ Distance covered is equal'to the area under the speed-time graph, therefore,

$S=60 \times(60-20)=2400 m$

Name a physical quantity that essentially changes as a body moves.

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 next $5\, s.$ Thereafter, its velocity begins to decrease at a uniform rate until it comes to rest after $5\, s$.
