Question
how should the axes be set up on a position-time graph?
position on the vertical axis, time on the horizontal axis
it doesnt matter
time on the vertical axis, position on the horizontal axis
rewatch
In a Position - Time graph, by convention, the independent variable (time) is placed on the horizontal (x - axis) and the dependent variable (position, as it depends on time) is placed on the vertical (y - axis). The option "It doesn't matter" is incorrect as there is a standard way to set up the axes. The option "Time on the vertical axis, Position on the horizontal axis" goes against the standard convention.
