A nail is stuck in the wheel of a car moving at a constant velocity. • independent variable: time • dependent variable: height of nail above ground B. Waves move past a dock post in the ocean during stormy weather. • independent variable: time • dependent variable: height of water on post C. A pendulum swings in a grandfather clock. • independent variable: time • dependent variable: horizontal distance of pendulum from center of clock D. A piston moves back and forth in the engine of a train travelling at a constant velocity. • independent variable: time • dependent variable: horizontal position of piston
