- under a velocity-time graph represents the distance traveled. D. The slope of a velocity-time graph represents the acceleration. Background Information Since a bell-clapper vibrated at regular intervals of time, it can be used as a timing device. With the ald of carbon paper and ticker-tape, the position of an object relative to time can be determined. Figure 1 shows a sample of a tape drawn through the bell-clapper. a C Figure 1. During what interval was the velocity constant? Between (& D During what interval was the acceleration greatest? Instead of using a time unit of only one vibration, we might use five vibrations, a penta-tick. What is the distance traveled during the first penta-tick? Scm If we know distance and time, then we know the speed.
