Question 162021PhysicsWAEC
The acceleration of a moving object can be determined from the
A
slope of its distance-time graph
B
area under its distance-time graph
C
slope of its velocity-time graph
D
area under its velocity-time graph
Step-by-Step Explanation
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. In a velocity-time graph, the slope represents this rate of change, indicating how quickly the velocity of the object is increasing or decreasing. Therefore, analyzing the slope of the velocity-time graph allows for the determination of the object's acceleration.
