Velocity-Time Graphs

The slope of ...

Question

The slope of a speed-time graph gives:

(a) distance travelled
(b) velocity
(c) acceleration
(d) displacement

Open in App

Solution

The rate of change of speed per unit time is termed as acceleration. So, the answer is
(c) Acceleration
Acceleration = $\frac{c h a n g e i n s p e e d}{c h a n g e i n t i m e}$
