While the motion of the car, in principle, can occur 3 dimensions, it's not possible to represent all three dimensions and the time variable on a single 2-D graph. So, we have to select a component of the car's position (or velocity) to plot. In this case, let's assume the car moves to the right (i.e., in the +x direction). Perhaps, the plot of the car's position vs time looks like this: | While the motion of the car, in principle, can occur 3 dimensions, it's not possible to represent all three dimensions and the time variable on a single 2-D graph.
