Question

the chart shows the movement of a ball after several seconds.

a	b
4	2.5
8	6
12	8
16	10.5

column a is on the x - axis, and column b is on the y - axis. which titles should replace a and b?

• column a should be \time,\ and column b should be \position.\
• column a should be \position,\ and column b should be \time.\
• column a should be \velocity,\ and column b should be \speed.\
• column a should be \speed,\ and column b should be \velocity.\

Explanation:

The problem describes the movement of a ball over time. Column A has values (0,4,8,12,16) that likely represent time intervals (e.g., seconds), and Column B has values (0,2.5,6,8,10.5) that represent the ball’s position at those times. Time is typically the independent variable (x-axis), and position is the dependent variable (y-axis).

Answer:

A. Column A should be "Time," and Column B should be "Position."
