Solution

Velocity:

  1. Velocity is the directional speed of a moving object.
  2. It is an indication of its rate of change in position as observed from a specific frame of reference and measured by a specific time standard.

Velocity-time graph:

  1. The slope of a velocity graph represents an object's acceleration.
  2. As a result, the value of the slope at a given time represents the object's acceleration at that time.
