Multiple choice Question. Select the correct option.
The slope of displacement – time graph represents.
A train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 ms−1 in 200 s. It continues to move at the same rate for the next 500 s and is then brought to rest in another 100 s.
- Plot a speed-time graph.
- From graph calculate
(a) uniform rate of acceleration
(b) uniform rate of retardation
(c) total distance covered before stopping
(d) average speed.
From the diagram given below, calculate distance covered by body.

How does the slope of a speed-time graph give the acceleration of a body moving along a straight line?
Draw the following graph:
Speed versus time for a stepped motion
Draw the following graph:
Distance versus time for a body at rest.
Draw distance-time graph to show:
Decreasing velocity
The area of the velocity-time graph gives the displacement of the body.
