The area under an acceleration-time graph represents a specific physical quantity. To clarify:

Understanding the Graph

In an acceleration-time graph, the vertical axis shows acceleration, while the horizontal axis shows time.

What Does the Area Represent?

The area under the curve in this graph indicates the change in velocity over the time interval considered. Therefore, the correct answer is:

  • (B) change in velocity

Why Is This Important?

Knowing how to interpret these graphs is essential in physics, as it helps in understanding how objects move and how their speeds change over time.
