Question

The steepness (slope) of the velocity-time graph indicates the ___ of the object.

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

hintHint:

Acceleration

The correct answer is: Acceleration


    The steepness (slope) of the velocity-time graph indicates the acceleration of the object.
    S l o p e space equals space fraction numerator v e l o c i t y space over denominator t i m e end fraction
S l o p e space equals space fraction numerator m over denominator s space cross times space s space end fraction space equals space m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent
    ms-2 is the unit of acceleration.
