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:

He started from his home at 6 o’clock on his bicycle and covered a distance of 6 km in 40 minutes. At that point, he met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 minutes and reached Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. With what speed did he cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.
