Show that the instantaneous speed of a particle is equal to the slope of the distance-time graph.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The slope of the distance -time graph is `(ds)/(dt)`.
Again if `Delta`t is the time in which the displacement of the particle is `Delta`s, then speed v `= (Deltas)/(Deltat)`
Now, if `Delta t to 0`, instantaneous speed = `underset(Deltat to0)"lim"(Deltas)/(Deltat)=(ds)/(dt)`
