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: -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-2: -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-3: -In a distance-time graph, the slope or gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The steeper the line (and the greater the gradient) the faster the object is moving.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
