The independent variable always goes on the x-axis, or the horizontal axis. The dependent variable goes on the y-axis, or vertical axis.

What is the graph drawn on the Cartesian axes called?

Draw a distance-time graph from the above data (Table 2) showing the distance covered by a racing car. Does the car have uniform motion?

The table given below shows the distance of a car with time.

What can you say about the speeds of the two objects A and B from the distance-time graphs in Figure 2?

Draw a distance-time graph from the following data (Table 1) showing the distance covered by a racing car in fixed intervals of time. Calculate the speed of the car.

Figure shows the distance-time graph for the motion of two vehicles A and B. Which one of them is moving faster?

The three graphs A, B and C are speed vs time graphs of three cars. (None that these are not distance-time graphs)

Identify the graphs from the clues.
1. Mr Nair is a gentle driver. He lets the car pick up speed slowly.
2. Ms Patnaik sometimes goes on a drive on an empty road. She enjoys cruising along at the same speed.
3. Ms Rushmore is a racing car driver. She has just started a race.

Figure 1 shows the distance-time graph for two racing cars, A and B. Which one of them won the race?

The figure given alongside shows the distance-time graph for the motion of two cars A and B. Which one of them is moving faster ?
