Question

The steepness of the position-time graph indicates the ___ of the object.

 

  1. Displacement
  2. Velocity
  3. Acceleration
  4. Distance 

hintHint:

Velocity

The correct answer is: Velocity


    The steepness of the position time graph indicated the velocity of the body.
    Justification:
    S t e e p n e s s space equals space fraction numerator p o s i t i o n space over denominator t i m e space end fraction
S t e e p n e s s space equals space m over s space o r space m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
    ms-1 is the unit of velocity.

    Peter wants to modify the formula for acceleration
    i.e., a = (v – u)/ t
    Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t= time, a = acceleration, to suit the special case of freefall of a ball dropped from the top of a building. He chooses to make the following substitutions in the formula.
    a. v= 0
    b. u= 0
    c. a= 9.8 m/s2
    Identify the correct substitutions.
