What does gradient give you in a speed-time graph?
A
Distance value
B
Acceleration value
C
Speed value
D
yo mama
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The gradient of the line of the speed-time graph is the acceleration of the particle (for straight lines acceleration is constant). Gradient of line=change of velocitytime, =v−ut, =a.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gradient of the lines is proportional to the acceleration-the steeper the gradient, the faster the change in speed. Straight lines mean a constant speed. The area underneath the graph tells us the distance travelled.

Detailed explanation-3: -The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration of the moving object.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gradient is a measure of slope. The greater the gradient, the steeper the slope. When the gradient of two lines are the same, they are parallel .
