Per NCERT, on a VELOCITY vs TIME graph, what does the SLOPE of the curve at a point represent?
ATotal distance
BTotal displacement
CThe instantaneous velocity
DThe instantaneous acceleration at that point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The instantaneous acceleration at that point
Per NCERT §2.3, slope of v-t graph = acceleration. (Area under v-t = displacement.)
