Answer:
The y-axis should be labelled as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)
Explanation:
The given data is presented here as follows;
Mass (kg) Newtons (kg·m/s²)
3.2 31.381
4.6 45.1111
6.1 59.821
7.4 72.569
9 89.241
10.4 101.989
10.9 106.892
From the table, it can be seen that there is a nearly linear relationship between the amount of Newtons and the mass, as the slope of the data has a relatively constant slope
Therefore, the data can be said to be a function of Weight in Newtons to the mass in kilograms such that the weight depends on the mass as follows;
W(m) in Newtons = Mass, m in kg × g
Where;
g is the constant of proportionality
Therefore, the y-axis component which is the dependent variable is the function, W(m) = Weight of the body while the x-axis component which is the independent variable is the mass. m
The graph of the data is created with Microsoft Excel give the slope which is the constant of proportionality, g = 9.8379, which is the acceleration due to gravity g ≈ 9.8 m/s²
We therefore label the y-axis as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)
