Question:
If the slope of the velocity-time graph of a moving particle is zero, then its acceleration is:
If the slope of the velocity-time graph of a moving particle is zero, then its acceleration is:
Show Hint
In kinematics, the slope of a velocity-time graph gives acceleration. A horizontal velocity-time graph means zero acceleration.

- constant but not zero
- zero
- constant and in the direction of velocity
- not a constant
- constant and opposite to the direction of velocity
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1:
The slope of the velocity-time graph represents the acceleration of the particle. If the slope is zero, it means the velocity of the particle is constant.
Thus, the acceleration is zero.
