A body is said to move with uniform velocity if it has no acceleration. This implies that the body moves with a constant speed along a straight line path.
This also means that the body moves with equal displacements in equal intervals of time, however small these time intervals may be.

BlakeI think it's the spelling! hehe, joke...Uniform motion and uniform speed have no exact difference since one is always linked to the other just like the word "change" to acceleration ( Acceleration takes place when there's a change in velocity neither decreasing nor increasing). Therefore, they are directly proportional with each other. When the speed is uniform, the motion is also uniform. When an object is in motion, you may ask "how fast does it move?" and you are now talking about the speed, the magnitude. So when the average speed of an object is uniform, it is safe to say that the motion is also uniform. [=
Uniform speed means equal distance cover by object in a equal interval of time. for example if object cover 10m in 1second it will cover 20m in 2second 30m in 3second and so on,means the object is covering equal distance 10m in equal time interval 1second so it is uniform speed.that is why the distance-time graph is straight line but not parallel to time axis.
Constant speed means same speed in any time interval. for example a train is moving with constant speed of 10m/s at 10:00am at 10:01am the speed is same 10m/s again at 10:02am the speed is same and so on. means in 2minute the speed is same 10m/s or as time passes the speed is not changing or the speed is constant. that is why the speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to time-axis.

How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?
If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.
If an object is moving at unifrom acceleration what is its velocity?
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.
Can an object maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero?
No, an object cannot maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero. If an object is accelerating, its velocity will be changing over time, so it cannot maintain a constant velocity. Uniform velocity means the speed and direction of the object remains constant.
Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?
The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be zero.
How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?
Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)
