Question

the graph below is a model of the distance an object travels in different amounts of time. if you calculate the slope of the line, youll find the objects dropdown with options: distance traveled, total time traveled, average speed, average acceleration related content speed & velocity speed and velocity (7:51) acceleration...

Explanation:

The graph shows distance (in meters) on the y - axis and time (in seconds) on the x - axis. The slope of a line in a distance - time graph is calculated as $\frac{\text{change in distance}}{\text{change in time}}$. The formula for speed (or average speed when the motion is uniform, as indicated by the straight line) is $v=\frac{d}{t}$, where $d$ is distance and $t$ is time. Distance traveled is just the value on the y - axis, total time traveled is the value on the x - axis, and average acceleration is related to the change in velocity over time (not slope of distance - time graph). So the slope of the distance - time graph gives the average speed.

Answer:

average speed
