straight line curve
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.
For uniform motion, the position-time graph will be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating a constant velocity.
A graph of uniform velocity would be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating that the object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without changing its velocity.
The distance-time graph for non-uniform motion of an object will not be a straight line, as the object's speed is changing. It may have curved sections or varying slopes to represent the changing speed of the object at different points in time. The graph may be irregular or have multiple segments to illustrate the object's varying velocity.
A velocity-time graph would show uniform acceleration of a moving vehicle as a straight line with a constant positive slope, indicating that the vehicle is accelerating at a consistent rate.

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 with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.
Velocity.
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.
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.
Uniform acceleration graphs help visualize how an object's velocity changes over time. They show a constant rate of change in velocity, which can be used to calculate properties like displacement and time. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time, representing the object's speed and direction at a given instant.
The distance-time graph for non-uniform motion of an object will not be a straight line, as the object's speed is changing. It may have curved sections or varying slopes to represent the changing speed of the object at different points in time. The graph may be irregular or have multiple segments to illustrate the object's varying velocity.
the distance time graph will show a linear or a straight line
A velocity-time graph would show uniform acceleration of a moving vehicle as a straight line with a constant positive slope, indicating that the vehicle is accelerating at a consistent rate.
A displacement-time graph for a boy traveling with uniform velocity to school would be a straight line that slopes upwards, indicating a constant rate of motion. The y-axis represents displacement (distance from the starting point) and the x-axis represents time. The slope of the line would represent the velocity of the boy.
