The slope of a velocity versus time graph gives
A)the distance traveled.
B)velocity.
C)acceleration.
D)displacement.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a velocity versus time graph gives the rate of change of velocity, which is acceleration. Therefore, the correct choice is C, acceleration. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. The distance traveled can be found by finding the area under the velocity-time graph. The velocity is represented by the slope of the position-time graph. The displacement of an object is represented by the area under the velocity-time graph between two points.
