You can calculate an average if you know both the total distance and the total time of the trip. *

speed

Explanation:

Given: an incomplete sentence

To fill: the blank

Solution:

Speed is not a vector quantity but a scalar quantity as it has magnitude but no direction.

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

You can calculate an average speed if you know both the total distance and the total time of the trip.

Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time

  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.
