Question
position, distance, and displacement quick check
on a position - time graph, which of the following does the value of the slope indicate about the object? (1 point)
change in direction
total distance
change in position
velocity
Brief Explanations
On a position - time graph, the slope is calculated as $\frac{\text{change in position}}{\text{change in time}}$. Velocity is defined as $\frac{\text{displacement (change in position)}}{\text{time}}$. So, the slope of a position - time graph represents velocity.
