Question
Draw the velocity-time graph from the following data:
| Time (in hours): | 7:00 | 8:00 | 9:00 | 10:00 | 11:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 14:00 |
| Speed (in km/hr): | 30 | 45 | 60 | 50 | 70 | 50 | 40 | 45 |
Solution
Here, time is an independent variable and speed is a dependent variable. So, we take time on the x-axis and speed on the y-axis.
Let us choose the following scale:
On x-axis: 2 big division = 1 hour
On y-axis: 1 big division = 10 km/hr
Let us assume that on the x-axis, the coordinate of origin (O) is 7:00.
So, the coordinates of O are (7:00,0).
Now, let us plot (7:00,30), (8:00,45), (9:00,60), (10:00,50), (11:00,70), (12:00,50), (13:00,40), (14:00,45). These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below.

As part of his science project, Prithvi was supposed to record the temperature every hour one Saturday from 6 am to midnight. At noon, he was taking lunch and forgot to record the temperature. At 8:00 pm, his favourite show came on and so forgot again. He recorded the data so collected on a graph sheet as shown below.
- Why does it make sense to connect the points in this situation?
- Describe the overall trend, or pattern, in the way the temperature changes over the time period shown on the graph.
- Estimate the temperature at noon and 8 pm.
