Question

The magnitude of the acceleration of an object moving along a straight line is equal to the?

A. slope of the displacement time graph

B. Area below the force-time graph

C. Slope of its velocity-time graph

D. Area under its velocity-time graph

Answer 1

Solution.

Acceleration is the derivative of velocity over time. Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration is the slope of its velocity-time graph.

Answer:

C
