Best Answer

The radial velocity ie velocity towards or away from your starting point.

It is NOT the ordinary speed or velocity because you can run in a circle around your starting point at top speed but the distance will not change so the slope of the distance time graph will be zero.

What is the unit of a physical quantity which is represented by area under a velocity time graph?

the physical quantity is distance and unit is meters


What is the physical quantity measured under a speed time graph?

If you mean 'measured by the area under the speed/time graph' then this is total distance travelled.


Which physical quantity is measured by the area under velocity time graph?

The distance covered in the direction of motion or the opposite direction. Distance covered in the transverse direction is not included.

It represent the distance covered is 40 metre.


Which physical quantity is given by slope of v-t graph?

Acceleration.


Can work done be calculated by the gradient force-distance graph?

no, work done is the area under a force-distance graph


Can a position time graph be created from a velocity time graph?

Distance travelled from a velocity / time graph can be calculated from area under graph, say area under (v/t) graph from 0 - 1 seconds = distance travelled after 1 second, then do 0 - 2 seconds, 0 - 3 etc for set of data for distance / time graph


Name the two physical quantities which can be obtained from the velocity-time graph?

well, the area under the curve between a time interval is equal to the distance traveled on that specific time interval. So one quantity is distance. As for another quantity, the answer would be velocity, but I think they may want a less obvious answer. A quantity out side of velocity could be instantaneous acceleration. This is given by the slope of the the tangent line to the velocity-time graph. Hope this helps you answer your question. Though I think the most simple way to understanding why is to take a course of calculus.

Which graph is used to measure quantity?

bar graph


What is the quantity which is measured by the area occupied below the velocity - time graph?

Distance travelled (displacement). Distance = velocity/time, so velocity * time = distance. Likewise, x = dv/dt so the integral of velocity with respect to time (area under the graph) is x, the distance travelled.


What quantity does the slope of a distance vs time squared graph represent?

Since distance is 1/2 at^2 where a is acceleration, it represents one half of the acceleration
