NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
Consider a graph of velocity versus time for an object moving in a straight line, with points marked at (v1, t1) and (v2, t2). Which of the following correctly describes how to determine the average acceleration of the object from this graph?
Calculate the slope of the line connecting points (v1, t1) and (v2, t2).
Calculate the area under the curve between t1 and t2.
Find the difference in velocities v2 and v1.
Determine the midpoint of the line segment between (v1, t1) and (v2, t2).
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average acceleration is the slope of the line connecting the points (v1, t1) and (v2, t2) on a velocity versus time graph, as stated in the NCERT context.
