Yes, there are velocity graphs, (velocity being on the y axis and time being on the x axis). However, these graphs are not to be mixed up with position verses time graphs. On a velocity verses time graph, (the units for velocity being m/s), an object at rest is plotted as a straight line along the horizontal axis. This shows that time is progressing, but there is no motion of the objest. Uniform motion is also plotted as a straight line, but must be placed someplace above the horizontal axis. Acceleration and decceleration on a velocity vs time graph are represented by diagonal lines unlike the curved lines on a position verses time graph

What are the nature of the distance time graphs for uniform and non unifrm motion of an object?

A distance-time graph for an object moving at a constant velocity will be a straight line - the gradient of the line corresponds to the velocity. Non-uniform motion will cause the gradient of the line to change.


What is the difference between uniform velocity and on uniform velocity?

I assume you mean "non-uniform". "Uniform" simply means that the velocity (in this case) doesn't change.


When is an object said to have uniform velocity?

It isn't. Constant velocity? Uniform velocity across a group of objects?


What is the acceleratipn of a body with uniform velocity and why?

The acceleratipn of a body with uniform velocity is zero. Acceleratipn is the time rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is uniform, then its time rate of change is zero.


How do graphs represent motion?

The answer depends on what information is graphed. There are distance-time graphs, velocity-time graphs, speed-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs.


What is dependent value in velocity time graphs?

The dependent value on a velocity-time graph is velocity.


Can uniform angular velocity has acceleration?

No, uniform angular velocity means no angular acceleration.


How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?

If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.


How the velocity uniform?

"Uniform velocity" means zero acceleration, that is, constant speed in a straight line.rate of change of velocity is zero


What is the difference between uniform and variable velocity?

Uniform velocity is velocity unaffected by acceleration. Variable velocity is velocity affected by acceleration. Lauren "Physics above all!"


What is the nature of velocity time graph of a body moving with uniform retardation?

A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.


Why is acceleration zero with uniform velocity?

Uniform velocity means the velocity is not changing. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If velocity isn't changing, the rate of change is zero.
