(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.

What can you conclude about the motion of a body depicted by the velocity-time graphs $(i)$,$(ii)$ and $(iii)$ given below?

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.

Define 'average speed'. An object moves with a uniform speed of $10\, m s^{-1}$ for $5\, s$ and then with a uniform speed of $5\, m s^{-1}$ for $10\, s$. Find its average speed.
