The slope of a velocity-time graph represents
-
- acceleration
- displacement
- distance
- speed
- acceleration
Correct Option: A
A plot of velocity-time is used to determine the acceleration of an object (the slope). If the acceleration 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). If the acceleration is negative, then the velocity-time graph is a downward sloping line (i.e., the slope is negative).
