Question

The distance-time graph given below represents the motion of a car. Choose the correct statement based on the same.

• A. The car is at rest.
• B. The speed of the car increases with a increase in slope.
• C. The slope of a distance-time graph gives speed.
• D. The speed of the car increases with a decrease in slope.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The slope of a distance-time graph gives speed.

The distance-time graph depicts how an object's distance and speed change as time advances.
The slope of a distance-time graph gives us the speed of the object. The speed increases with an increase in the slope.
