The acceleration of a moving body can be found from (a) area under velocity - time graph. (b) area under distance - time graph. (c) slope of the velocity - time graph. (d) slope of the distance - time graph.

Answer: (c). a = dv/dt, which is the slope of the velocity-time graph. Area under v - t gives displacement; slope of x - t gives velocity. So the answer is (c).

The acceleration of a moving body can be found from

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$ , which is the slope of the velocity-time graph.
Area under $v$ - $t$ gives displacement; slope of $x$ - $t$ gives velocity.
So the answer is (c).
