3. Assertion: Velocity versus time graph of a particle in uniform motion along a straight path is a
line parallel to the time axis.
Reason: In uniform motion the velocity of a particle increases as the square of the time elapsed.
4. Assertion: the speedometer of a car measures the instantaneous speed of the car.

time taken.
5. Assertion: An object may have acceleration even if it is moving with uniform velocity.
Reason: An object may be moving with uniform velocity but it may be changing its direction of
motion.
6. Assertion: If a particle is moving with constant velocity, then average velocity for any time
interval is equal to instantaneous velocity.
Reason: If average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero for a given time
interval, then instantaneous velocity at some instant within this interval may be zero.
7. Assertion: The displacement of an object can be either positive, negative or zero.
Reason: Displacement has both the magnitude and direction.
8. Assertion: When the displacement of a body is directly proportional to the square of the time.
