Graphs
1 – Draw a graph of Velocity
versus Distance
for both angles of incline, using Microsoft Excel
.
(You may refer to the “Graphing with Excel” PDF and video on Moodle.) a)
Start by creating a worksheet in which you enter the average distance traveled
(x-axis)
in column A and the measured average velocity
(y-axis) in column B for the first angle of incline, and in column C for the second angle of incline.
b)
Click and drag the cursor to select all three columns of your data table
c)
Click on Insert
and choose Charts
Hover the cursor over the different charts until you come to XY(Scatter)
Click on the arrow next to it, to expand your choices, and at the bottom click on More Scatter Charts
. Choose the second one from the left, the one displaying the two lines joining the data points
d)
A plot of your data should appear. Click on it to select the plot
e)
Selecting the symbol to the right of the plot, you can now add Axis Titles, etc.
Select Chart Title
–> type the title ‘Velocity versus Distance’
Select Axis Titles
–> Primary Horizontal
–> type ‘Distance’
Select Axis Titles
–> Primary Vertical
–> type ‘Velocity’
f)
Finally, click on and Select Trendline –> Linear for both graphs.
Copy and paste the graph here:
