Exam-style question
Try this first
What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?.
- A.Distance travelled
- B.Acceleration
- C.Displacement
- D.Speed
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Acceleration
Explanation
Why this works
The slope of a velocity-time graph indicates how velocity changes over time. This shows the rate of change of velocity, which is defined as acceleration.
Therefore, the implication is that a steeper slope corresponds to greater acceleration, concluding that the slope directly represents acceleration.
