Question

Larger the slope of a displacement-time graph

• A. lesser the velocity
• B. higher the velocity
• C. lesser the acceleration
• D. higher the acceleration

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

higher the velocity

The slope of a displacement-time graph with time axis measures velocity. Larger slope (steeper graph) means the displacement is changing with a faster rate with respect to the time. Faster rate of change of change of distance with respect to time simply means the body has a larger velocity.

So, larger slope indicates higher velocity.
