Explanation
In the positive region the velocity decreases linearly (during rise) and in the negative region velocity increases linearly (during fall) and the direction is opposite to each other during rise and fall, hence fall is shown in the negative region.
This graph shows uniform motion because line having a constant slope.
We know that the velocity of body is given by the slope of displacement—time graph. So. it is clear that initially slope of the graph is positive and after some time it becomes zero (corresponding to the peak of graph) and then it will become negative.
Since slope of graph remains constant for velocity-time graph.
Statement I is based on visual experience. Statement II is formula of relative velocity. But it does not explains Statement I. The correct explanation of Statement I is due to visual perception of motion (due angular velocity). The object appears to be faster when its angular velocity is greater w.r.t. observe.
When body going vertically upwards, reaches at the highest point, then it is momentarily at rest and it then reverses its direction. At the highest point of motion, its velocity is zero but its acceleration is equal to acceleration due to gravity.
