Name the physical quantity that is obtained by the slope of a :
3Page 5 of 13(i) distance-time and velocity-time graph of a body ? (ii) Can distance-time graph be parallel to the distance axis ? Give reason for your answer. Interpret distance-time graph which is parallel to time axis. List any two affects that a force can produce in a body
(i)
slope of distance-time = speed
slope of velocity-time = acceleration
..
(ii)
Yes distance-time graph can be parallel to the x-axis (time axis) and in this case the body will be at rest.
..
(iii)
Force can cause
- change in shape
- change in velocity
of a body
