A worker has to move a 17.0-kg crate along a flat floor in a warehouse. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.214. The worker pulls horizontally on a rope attached to the crate,
with a 49.0-N force. What is the resultant acceleration of the crate?

  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.

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.
