Since N is small you can apply BFS starting from u in each query and print the distance of node v which will take O(n) time for each query. An efficient way to answer each query in O(logn) is using LCA which can be found in O(logn) using binary lifting.
I teach all these concepts with practice problems , here is the graph theory playlist where you can find this concept along with other concepts. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2q4fbVm1Ik64I3VqbVGRfl_OgYzvzt9m hope this helps.
