The table represents the speed of a car in a northern direction over several seconds. Column 1 would be on the x-axis, and Column 2 would be on the y-axis. Which best lists the titles of each column? Column 1 0 2 4. 6 8 10 Column 2 5 10 15 20 25 30 Column 1 should be titled "Time," and Column 2 should be titled "Velocity." Column 1 should be titled "Velocity," and Column 2 should be titled "Time." Column 1 should be titled "Time," and Column 2 should be titled "Acceleration." O Column 1 should be titled "Acceleration," and Column 2 should be titled "Time."​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking at speed over a time unit, we have an acceleration graph. The definition of acceleration mathematically is:


a=(v_f-v_0)/(t) (that's the change in velocity over the change in time). The slope of any line in this graph wil represent the acceleration. Slope is rise over run, or y over x. Therefore, if acceleration is velocity over time, then the y axis is the velocity axis and the x axis is the time axis. It makes perfect, beautiful sense!!
