What does the slope of a velocity – time graph represent?
The slope of velocity – time graph represent acceleration. Since, Slope =
= Change in y – axis
= Change in x – axis
y = Velocity = v
x = time = t
So, =
= Change in velocity
=
= Change in time
So, Slope = =
We know that Acceleration =
So, Slope of Velocity – Time graph is acceleration.
