Question

The gradient or slope of the distance-time graph at any point gives ______.
(acceleration, displacement, velocity, time)

TNSCERT Class 9 General Science Ch 6 Motion

Answer 1

The gradient or slope of the distance-time graph at any point gives  velocity

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

The gradient or slope of the distance-time graph at any point gives velocity.

● Explanation -

• Velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement of body with respect to time.
• Formula, v = ds/dt
• Velocity is calculated as slope of displacement-time graph.
• Acceleration is defined as rate of change of velocity of body with respect to time.
• Formula, a = dv/dt
• Acceleration is calculated as slope of velocity-time graph.

Hope this helps you...
