उत्तर
We observe from the given displacement time graph above, that the slope is a straight line inclined with time axis, so the body is moving with uniform velocity.
velocity = Slope of straight line
t = 1; velocity = `2/1` = 2 m/s
t = 2; velocity = `4/2` = 2 m/s
t = 3; velocity = `6/3` = 2 m/s
Hence, velocity at t = 1 s, 2 s and 3 s is equal to 2 m s-1
Velocity-time graph for the motion of a body is given below:
