Geometrically, the instantaneous velocity from a distance-time curve equals what?
AArea under the curve
BSlope of the tangent
CLength of the chord
DHeight of the curve
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Slope of the tangent
Shrinking the time interval turns each chord into the tangent, so velocity is the tangent slope.
