Question

Slope is very important when using graphs. The slope of a position-time graph finds ______________, while the slope of a velocity-time graph finds ___________________.
distance; velocity
displacement; acceleration
velocity; displacement
velocity; acceleration

Answer 1

Hey Mate!!

Option d is correct friend.

Velocity ; Acceleration

Reason ;

• The slope of the line on a position-time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. If the object is moving with a velocity of +4 m/s, then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s. If the object is moving with a velocity of -8 m/s, then the slope of the line will be -8 m/s.

• The slope of the line on a velocity versus time graph is equal to the acceleration of the object. If the object is moving with an acceleration of +4 m/s/s (i.e., changing its velocity by 4 m/s per second), then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s/s.

Hope this helps you!!
