Step-by-Step Solution
Definition of Uniform Motion: Uniform motion is defined as motion where an object moves along a straight line with a constant velocity. In this state, the magnitude and direction of velocity do not change with time, and the acceleration is zero (a=0) .
Velocity-Time Graph Characteristics: Since the velocity (v) remains constant throughout the time interval, the graph plotting velocity against time (t) will be a straight line parallel to the time axis (horizontal line). The slope of this line is zero, corresponding to zero acceleration.
Comparison: Graphs showing inclined lines represent accelerated motion (constant slope for uniform acceleration), and curved lines represent non-uniform acceleration. Only a horizontal line represents uniform motion.
