Question

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

A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column labeled A has entries 0, 4, 8, 12, 16. The second column labeled B has entries 0, 2.5, 6, 8, 10.
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.”

Answer 1

Column A should be “Time,” and Column B should be “Position.”

Reason: A increases uniformly (0,4,8,12,16) like seconds, and B (0,2.5,6,8,10) gives the ball’s position at those times.
