The slope of velocity-time graph gives   Correct Answer acceleration

CONCEPT:

  • Velocity: The rate of change of displacement of a body is called the velocity of that body.
    • Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitudes as well as direction.
  • Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity is called the acceleration of the body.
    • Acceleration is also a vector quantity.
    • The slope of any velocity-time graph gives an acceleration of the body.

EXPLANATION: 

Additional Information

  • Similarly, the slope of displacement - time graph gives velocity.
  • The area under the velocity-time graph gives displacement and the area under the acceleration - time graph gives the change in velocity.
