The displacement covered by a body in unit time is called velocity?

No. It's called the 'speed' of the body. It's the size of the velocity, but it's not complete information
about the velocity. If you also give the direction of the displacement, then that information, along
with the speed, defines the velocity.

What is the rate of displacement of a body called?
The rate of displacement of a body is called its velocity.
Is the distance covered by a body may be greater than the magnitude of displacement?
yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.
What is unifom velocity?
when a body travels unequal displacement in equal interval of time or visa-versa, it is said to have non-uniform velocity
How is average velocity of a body calculated when its velocity changes at a non-uniform rate?
average velocity=displacement/total time taken
How is the velocity of an object different from the speed of an object?
Velocity of a moving body is its rate of DISPLACEMENT with respect to time. But speed is distance traveled per unit time. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity has a direction. 30mph is a speed. 30mph due north is a velocity. Well not really because 'north' is arbitrary but you get the idea. Displacement is both a distance and direction. 30 miles is a distance. 30 miles to the north is a displacement. A two part quantity like velocity or displacement is called a 'vector quantity'. A one part quantity (speed, distance etc) is called a 'scalar quantity'.

Is the displacement time graph of a body moving with uniform velocity always a straight line?
A displacement vs. time graph of a body moving with uniform (constant) velocity will always be a line of which the slope will be the value of velocity. This is true because velocity is the derivative (or slope at any time t) of the displacement graph, and if the slope is always constant, then the displacement will change at a constant rate.
Differenties between speed n velocity?
speed =dist/time velocity=displacement/time difference is that velocity depicts the direction in which a body is moving as displacement is one of it"s attriebutes but speed does not

average velocity=displacement/total time taken

When a body has uniform velocity?
A body has uniform velocity if it covers equal displacement in equal intervals of time however short the interval may be.
What is resultant of displacement?
if the body of mass of 1kg is thrown at velocity of 9.8m/s?
When is velocity is constant?
when the body in motion covers equal displacement in equal intervals of time.
What does Velocity indicate in motion?
rate of change of displacement is known as velocity it shows that how fast or slow a body is moving and in which direction it is moving.
