Six seconds after starting from rest, a car is moving at 15 m/s. What is the car's average acceleration?
6 m/s2
0-5 m/s?
5 m/s2
2.5 m/s?
-2.5 m/s?

  2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

a = ∆v/∆t = (15 m/s)/(6 s) = (15/6) m/s² = 2.5 m/s²

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
