Thank you. That makes this much easier. I understand how to do it now.

But shouldn't the height be on the x-axis and the time on the y-axis, since height is my independent variable, and time is what I'm supposed to find?

I know, it doesn't really make any sense. Before you start the experiment, there's a question that asks, "Hypothesize what a graph would look like if you were to drop a ball from a certain height". So I roughly made a graph. But then, the actual experiment requires you to drop a ball from 10...

Homework Statement Hi everybody. I just started grade 11 physics, and I'm having some serious trouble translating P-T graphs to V-T graphs. I really just can't seem to grasp the concept of this. It also doesn't help that I'm doing an online course and we're not being taught anything. The...

Thank you.

Is there a way I can make it so that it is shown as a velocity? Should I add [N] on the y-axis title? I understand the difference between speed & velocity, but isn't a V-T graph (like one that shows acceleration) only a V-T graph if the y-axis is velocity?

You're correct. It makes no sense, and in this case, it doesn't have to.

Thanks. This is really the first question I've ever done involving physics (it's grade 11 physics, by the way), so I'm unfamiliar with some of the physics/math jargon being used in this thread. And about it not making sense in the real world, I mean that in every sense. As in, these are just...

Homework Statement Hi. For this assignment, I was told to create a V-T graph with my own values (this doesn't have to make sense in the real world). The assignment says that a ball rolls on the floor, up a ramp, back down the ramp, and backwards along the floor. Here is the diagram...
