(N/A) $(i)$ The graph shows a horizontal line parallel to the time axis,indicating that the velocity remains constant over time. This represents a body moving with uniform velocity.
$(ii)$ The graph shows a straight line passing through the origin with a positive slope,indicating that the velocity increases linearly with time. This represents a body moving with uniform acceleration.
$(iii)$ The graph shows a straight line with a negative slope,indicating that the velocity decreases linearly with time until it reaches zero. This represents a body moving with uniform retardation (deceleration).
$(iv)$ The graph shows the velocity decreasing linearly to zero (uniform retardation),remaining at zero for a certain time interval (at rest),and then increasing linearly (uniform acceleration).

All buses and cars these days are fitted with a speedometer,which shows the velocity of the vehicle. $A$ device called odometer records the distance moved by the vehicle. If the reading on the odometer of a vehicle in the beginning of a trip and after $40 \text{ minutes}$ were $1048 \text{ km}$ and $1096 \text{ km}$ respectively,calculate its average velocity. Will the reading on the speedometer show this velocity when the vehicle is moving? Support your answer with reason.
