Meeting the criteria for a graph

[QUOTE="andrewkirk, post: 5447390, member: 265790"] You haven't said what ground the cart is going over. Reading between the lines, it sounds as though it will be on a slope of constant gradient. If that's not correct, more info would be needed. It is unusual in Introductory Physics to put time on the vertical axis, but not forbidden. In Special Relativity, graphs with time on the vertical axis are the norm. Your suggestion of using log plots would work, but is more complex than it needs to be, as it involves transforming both the axes. A linear plot can be achieved with a simple transformation of only one axis. If you put untransformed time on the vertical axis and position on the horizontal, and acceleration is constant, what transformation do you need to apply to the horizontal axis to make the line of the cart's position straight?
