Question

the following data was collected in a lab. it measures the acceleration of an object pulled with various forces.
force: 1 n, 2 n, 3 n, 4 n, 5 n
acceleration: 0.5 m/s², 1 m/s², 1.5 m/s², 2 m/s², 2.5 m/s²
which table organizes this data correctly?
(1 point)
the table shows the acceleration of an object pulled with various forces.
force (n) 1 2 3 4 5
acceleration (m/s²) 0.5 1.5 1 2.5 2
the table shows the acceleration of an object pulled with various forces.
force (n) 5 4 3 2 1
acceleration (m/s²) 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5
the table shows the acceleration of an object pulled with various forces.
force (n) 1 2 3 4 5
acceleration (m/s²) 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5
the table shows the acceleration of an object pulled with various forces.
force (n) 1 2 3 4 5
acceleration (m/s²) 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5

Explanation:

Step1: Check the order of Force values

The Force values are \(1\ N\), \(2\ N\), \(3\ N\), \(4\ N\), \(5\ N\). We need to check which table has Force values in this ascending order.

• First table: Force order is correct (\(1,2,3,4,5\)), but acceleration values \(0.5,1.5,1,2.5,2\) are not in the corresponding order.
• Second table: Force order is \(5,4,3,2,1\) (descending), not the given ascending order.
• Third table: Force order is correct (\(1,2,3,4,5\)), but acceleration values \(2.5,2,1.5,1,0.5\) are in descending order (not matching the given acceleration data).
• Fourth table: Force order is \(1,2,3,4,5\) (correct ascending order) and acceleration values \(0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5\) (also in ascending order and match the given data).

Answer:

The fourth table (with Force \(1,2,3,4,5\) and acceleration \(0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5\)) is the correct one.
