Question

the harder a gas pedal in a car is pressed, the faster the cars velocity increases. which phrase best describes the relationship between how hard the gas pedal is pressed and the acceleration of the car? (1 point)

there is both a positive correlation and causation.

there is a positive correlation but no causation.

there is a negative correlation but no causation.

there is both a negative correlation and causation.

Explanation:

As the force on the gas - pedal increases, the car's acceleration increases. This shows a positive relationship (positive correlation) where an increase in one variable (pedal - force) leads to an increase in another (acceleration). Also, pressing the gas - pedal harder causes the car to accelerate more, so there is causation.

Answer:

There is both a positive correlation and causation.
