Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is velocity.
Key Points
CONCEPT:
- Velocity/ speed: The rate of change of displacement/distance of a body is called the velocity/speed of that body.
- Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitudes as well as direction.
- Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity is called the acceleration of the body.
- Acceleration is also a vector quantity.
- The slope of any velocity-time graph gives an acceleration of the body.
- Displacement: The minimum path length between two points is called displacement.
- Distance: The total path length between two points is called distance.
Explanation:
From the above explanation, we can see that,
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
- In other words, it is the ratio of change in velocity and time taken
- It has SI units of m/s2 and is also the derivative of velocity
