Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
On a distance vs. time graph, the steeper the slope ____
A
the slower the speed
B
the faster the speed
C
less acceleration
D
greater acceleration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On a distance-time graph, a sloping line indicates that the object is moving. The slope or gradient of the line in a distance-time graph equals the speed of the object. The faster the object moves, the steeper the line (and the greater the gradient).

Detailed explanation-2: -This means that the slope of a line on a distance–time graph is equal to the speed of the movement represented by the line. The steeper the slope of the line, the greater the speed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sloping line shows that the speed of the object is changing. The object is either speeding up or slowing down. The steeper the slope of the line the greater the acceleration. If the line slopes upward from left to right, this means the object is speeding up.

Detailed explanation-4: -The slope of a line (steepness) can tell you speed. If the slope is steep (more vertical) then the speed is fast. If the slope is flatter (more horizontal) then the speed is slow. If the line is completely flat or horizontal then the object has no speed or is stopped.
