(N/A) $1$. For uniform motion: The distance-time graph is a straight line. This indicates that the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time,meaning the speed is constant.
$2$. For non-uniform motion: The distance-time graph is not a straight line; it is a curve. This indicates that the object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time,meaning the speed is changing.

$A$ driver of a car travelling at $52\, km\, h^{-1}$ applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in $5\, s$. Another driver going at $3\, km\, h^{-1}$ in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in $10\, s$. On the same graph paper,plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
