What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let time t be plotted along the horizontal axis and velocity v along the vertical axis. The slope of this velocity-time graph is `(dv)/(dt)`. Again by definition acceleration a = `(dv)/(dt)`, so the slope represents acceleration.
