Question

How can we transfer a table of motion data into a line graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

A table of motion (for a moving object) usually is something like:

Time I Position:

0s           1m

1s            3m

2s           5m

etc...

Where time is the independent variable and position represents the position of the object at that given time.

We can think in these points as coordinate pairs, for example, we can wrote these 3 pairs as:

(0s, 1m)

(1s, 3m)

(2s, 5m)

Now that we have these points, we can go to a coordinate plane and find these points

(The time would be on the horizontal axis, and position in the vertical axis)

Once you found the points, to complete the graph you need to find a line that connects the points.

An example of this is shown below, where the points used are the ones above, and the line should be straight.
