If you are in a parked car and the car to the left is your reference point and they pull away, which way does it make you look like you are moving? Try to explain.

explanation:

as the height from which the ruler was dropped increased, the speed of the ruler at ryan's hand increased.

  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.
