Question

What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?

Open in App
Solution

The slope of a 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.
  3. The rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time is defined as acceleration.
  4. Acceleration is a vector quantity, having both the magnitude and direction.
  5. If the slope of graph is positive then it will acceleration, and if slope is negative then it will be retardation.
