a) Speed
b)Distance
c)Time
d)Velocity

Answer 1

$\LARGE{ \underline{ \blue{ \sf{Required \: answer:}}}}$

The slope of the displacement-time graph calculates the Velocity of the object. The correct option is Option D.

A graph shows us the relation between a independent and a dependent variable but we can predict several other parameters too like slope under the graph and the area of the graph.

Slope is the inclination which determines the quantity which is obtained by dividing the dependent variable by independent variable because:

$\large{\boxed{ \rm{Slope = \frac{measure \: on \: y - axis}{measure \: on \: x - axis} = \tan( \theta) }}}$

The difference between the initial and final displacement and the initial and final time of interval will give us the velocity of the body through graphical method.

Answer 2

Option (D) Velocity of object
