Two students were asked to plot a distance-time graph for the motion described in Table A and Table B. Table A Table B.


The graph given in Figure 13.2 is true for

For table A: we mark all the point of time and check what is the distance then we compare from the table. Look here:-

Graph: Table1



For the second table, we look for time in points given in the table and then draw a line cutting x-axis from that point and parallel to y-axis. This line cuts the dotted line at some point, this point is required a point to be plotted on the graph corresponding to point given in the table. Also, this point can be plotted with y-axis coordinate given in the table.


After plotting all points graph looks like:


Graph: Table2
