Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Graphs In Practical Situations (Section 2 - No. 50)
Which is the correct relationship between the variables in a speed-time graph?
The rate of change of speed gives the acceleration
The area under the graph gives the distance traveled
The gradient gives the distance traveled
The value on the y-axis is time
Explanation
The rate of change of speed provides the acceleration, and the area under the graph represents the distance traveled.
