Question

5. Name the two quantities the slope of whose graph gives:
a. Speed
b. Acceleration

6. Derive the following equations by graphical method:
i. s = ut + 1/2at?
ii. v = u + at​

Answer 1

(a) The speed is defined as the rate of change of distance. So, the slope of the distance and Time graph gives the speed.

(b) The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed. So, the slope of the Speed (a velocity) arid Time graph gives acceleration.
