Slope of work time graph is equal to____________________?

Correct answer: C. power

  • A. displacement
  • B. acceleration
  • C. power
  • D. energy

Explanation

Power is the rate at which work is done, P = W/t. Therefore, the slope of a work-time graph, ΔW/Δt, is power and is measured in watts. Students may choose d because work and energy have the same unit, but energy is the quantity represented by the vertical value, not the slope.

About Power

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, with average power calculated over a time interval and instantaneous power found from P = Fv when force and velocity are aligned. Work includes units, mechanical efficiency, and the distinction between power and total work or energy.
