The rate of change of velocity with time is:

Answer: acceleration.

  • A acceleration
  • B speed
  • C displacement
  • D momentum

Correct answer: A. acceleration

Explanation: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

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.
