The rate of change of displacement with time is:

Answer: velocity.

  • A velocity
  • B acceleration
  • C distance
  • D applied force

Correct answer: A. velocity

Explanation: Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.

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.
