Part 2
Part 3
1. Graph v vs t for the equation v = 30 – 10t for values of t from 0 to
6.0 s. v is in m/s.
2. Find dv/dt (acceleration) and graph a vs t for the same time period.
3. Find ∫v ∂t = x and evaluate the integral for t from 0 to 6.0 s.
Graph x vs t.
t (s) s (cm)
0.0 0.0
1.0 1.6
2.0 6.4
3.0 14.4
4.0 25.6
5.0 40.0
6.0 57.6
7.0 78.4
1. Take d to be the independent variable and F to be the
dependent variable.
2. Graph the data using Microsoft Excel.
a) Use xy(scatter) graph.
b) Label the axes and give the graph a title.
c) Use linear regression to graph the best fit line.
d) Print the equation of line.
e) Include an appropriately labeled data table.
e) Scale the graph to make it at least half a page in size
3. Take t to be the independent variable and s to be the dependent
variable.
4. Graph the data using Microsoft Excel.
a) Use xy(scatter) graph.
b) Label the axes and give the graph a title.
c) Use polynomial regression to graph the best fit line.
d) Print the equation of line.
e) Include an appropriately labeled data table.
e) Scale the graph to make it at least half a page in size
