Detailed Solution

The type of motion is uniform motion.
When the boy covers the first

10 km

distance from his home to school in

1

hour, the speed turns out to be

10 km / h

. Also, when the boy covers the next

5 km

distance in

30

minutes, the speed the boy turns out to be

10 km / h

. Since it is known that the motion in which an object moves at a constant speed is known as uniform motion, it can be concluded that the type of motion was uniform.
On the other hand, non-uniform motion refers to the motion in which the body moves at a varying speed. Uniform circular motion is the motion in which the body moves at a constant speed but in a circular path, and non-uniform circular motion is the motion in which the body moves at varying speeds but in a circular path.
