Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Answer:
Option A is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The instantaneous acceleration = Change in velocity in velocity/Time taken
The slope of the graph should give instantaneous acceleration.
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 velocity in velocity
Change in values of X -axis = Time taken
So velocity values should be on the Y axis and Time values should be on the X axis.
Option A is the correct answer.
At the end of the laps, the runner's displacement is zero.
