A 10. kilogram wood box is at rest on a wood floor.  When a horizontal force is applied on the box toward the right, the box begins to gain speed at a constant, steady rate.  After a period of 5.0 seconds, the box has attained a velocity of 20. m/s.  What is the magnitude of the applied force?

  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.
