If displacement-time graph is a curve, which of the following is correct?
Correct answer: C. Gradient of the graph repesents velocity
- A. Area under graph represents displacement
- B. Gradient of the graph is constant
- C. Gradient of the graph repesents velocity
- D. Gradient of the graph represents acceleration
Explanation
Option A : In the displacement time graph, the area under the graph doesn't represent displacement. Option B : The gradient of the graph is not always constant. Option: C In the displacement time graph, the gradient of the graph represents the velocity. The slope of the displacement-time graph gives the velocity of an object while the slope of the distance-time graph gives the speed of an object. Option D : Gradient if the graph doesn't represent acceleration..it represents the velocity.

About Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
