What does the slope of a displacement-time graph represent?

Answer: Velocity.

  • A Acceleration
  • B Force
  • C Velocity
  • D Distance

Correct answer: C. Velocity

Explanation: Slope = Δdisplacement/Δtime = 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.
