Average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total:

Answer: time.

  • A time
  • B distance
  • C speed
  • D acceleration

Correct answer: A. time

Explanation: Average velocity = total displacement / total time.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
