What type of energy does a can of soup have? potential energy or kinetic energy?

Potential Energy.

This is because kinetic energy is when an object is actually in motion, and since the specified object is not exactly in motion, it would be potential energy.

Potential energy can also be referred to or observed as resting energy; think of it like this, it's potential that an object holds that it can later exude.

Hope this helps!

  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.
