Question

    The slope of a velocity-time graph represents –

    A acceleration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B displacement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C distance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D speed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A plot of velocity-time is used to determine the acceleration of an object (the slope). If the acteleration is zero, then the velocity-time graph is a horizontal line (i.e., the slope is zero). If the acceleration is positive, then the line is an upward sloping line (i.e., the slope is positive).
