Question
The slope of a velocity-time (v-t) graph at any instant represents the object's
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. On a velocity-time graph, the slope (rise/run) is Δv/Δt. The instantaneous slope is dv/dt, which is exactly the definition of instantaneous acceleration.
Hint
The graph shows how velocity changes over time. The steepness of that change tells you how quickly the velocity is changing.
