Question
In each of three trials of an investigation, a single force is applied to a mobile. Each time, the mobile acquires a different acceleration. The table shows the relationship between the acceleration and the acting force.


Force (N)

Acceleration (m/s2)

1.2

4.8

0.7

2.8

1.6

6.4

Which phrase best describes a graph that would represent the relationship shown in the table?(1 point)
Responses

an upward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the y-axis and force shown on the x-axis
an upward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the y -axis and force shown on the x -axis

an upward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the x-axis and force shown on the y-axis
an upward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the x -axis and force shown on the y -axis

a downward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the y-axis and force shown on the x-axis
a downward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the y -axis and force shown on the x -axis

a downward-sloping line drawn on a graph with acceleration shown on the x-axis and force shown on the y-axis

1 answer

None of the answer choices accurately describe a graph that would represent the relationship shown in the table. The relationship between the force and acceleration is not linear and cannot be represented by a simple straight line on a graph.
