As we learnt in

Uniform velocity,Non uniform Velocity -

Uniform velocity

If equal displacement are covered in equal intervals of time.

Non uniform velocity

If equal displacement are covered in unequal intervals of time.

- wherein

More to know :

For uniform motion along a straight line, the average and instantaneous velocities have the same values.

 

 \vec{V}=K \left ( yi+xj \right ) - \left ( i \right )

\vec{V}=kyi+kxj \Rightarrow \vec{V}= \frac{dx}{dt}\hat{i} + \frac{dy}{dt}\hat{j} -\left ( ii \right )

equation (i) and (ii)

\frac{dx}{dt}=ky

\frac{dy}{dt}=kx

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dt}\times \frac{dt}{dx}

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{kx}{ky}=\frac{x}{y} -\left ( iii \right )

integrating both sides of above equation

\int ydy= \int xdx\Rightarrow y ^2=x^2+constant

y^{2}=x^{2}+constant

correct

Option 2)

y=x^{2}+constant

incorrect

Option 3)

y^{2}=x+constant
