The slope of a distance-time graph of a moving body gives its
- A. Speed
- B. Displacement
- C. velocity
- D. Acceleration
Step-by-step solution
In a distance-time graph, distance is a scalar quantity representing the total path length traveled. The slope (change in distance divided by change in time) gives the rate of change of distance, which is speed. Speed is a scalar, unlike velocity which is vector and requires displacement. Therefore, the slope gives speed.
