Question

velocity (similar to speed)
velocity = displacement / time = change in position / time
units
mile per hour (mph)
kilometer / hour (km/h)
si unit
meter / second (m/s)
1 mile = 1.6 km/h
velocity (similar to speed)
velocity = displacement / time = change in position / time
average velocity:
velocity = v
time = t
v_avg = δx / δt = (x_f - x_i) / (t_f - t_i)
equation: average velocity
v_avg = (x_f - x_i) / (t_f - t_i)
si units
t: s
x: m
v: m/s
● time is graphed on the ______ axis

Explanation:

Step1: Recall graph - axis convention

In a position - time graph, time is the independent variable.

Step2: Identify the axis for independent variable

The independent variable is plotted on the x - axis.

Answer:

x
