Answer:

velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. It is vector quantity. Its SI unit is m/s^2.

The formula for the acceleration is given by


a = (v - u)/(t)

Where, v is the final velocity of the object and u is the initial velocity of the object.

As we know that in velocity time graph, velocity is on the Y axis and time is on the X axis.

Slope of a graph is given by the ratio of Y axis intersept to the X axis intersept.

So, the slope of velocity time graph gives the value of acceleration of the object.
