On a velocity-time graph, the slope represents the:
ATime
BSpeed
CAcceleration
DDistance travelled
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Acceleration
Slope of v-t graph = (change in velocity) / (change in time) = acceleration. A horizontal v-t line means constant velocity (zero acceleration); a sloped line means constant acceleration; a curved line means changing acceleration.
