How is the distance related with time for the motion under uniform acceleration such as the motion of a freely falling body?

Give reasons:

(1) Distance and displacement are different concepts.

(2) An object at rest can be considered to have uniform motion.

(3) When a body falls freely to the ground, its motion has an uniform acceleration.
