The Graph
Graph1. Get a blank sheet of
graph paper
Graph1. Draw the Y axis 2. Draw the X axis
Graph1. Y axis 2. X axis
Graph1. On the X axis, Write
the range for the dependent variable, MA.
2. The range is 1 to 6
Graph1. On the Y axis, write
the range for the independent variable, EF in Newtons.
2. The range is from 1.0 N to 11.0 N
Graph
1. For Pulleys 1 through 5, Plot the data points as EF and MA
Do not write this data on your graph!This data will be found on the Data Table for each Pulley. 5 MAs and 5 EFs
Graph1. Plot a data point for
each pulley2. 5 pulleys, 5 data
points!
Graph1. In a nonlinear
graph, lines are not drawn dot to dot through data points.
2. For our Line of Best Fit, the nonlinear graph is drawn to fit or include some but not all data points.
3. The Line of Best Fit should show the pattern described by the data
Graph1. Line of Best Fit is a
compromise.2. To do it well you
would have to understand what it is for.
3. Make the line VERY LIGHTLY and show it to Mr. Gussin if you are unsure.
4. Do not draw beyond the last data point.
